Return 
to the fresh ocean,
without tears of the storm.

Hi Van...you could call it free verse; it might also be a kind of modern haiku.

Hi Van Yan! This poem might not be a tanka as we know it, but the poem in itself is as fresh as the ocean. Hope you'll enjoy your stay on Soup! // paul

So what kind of poem do you think it is? I am a Chinese poet and when I translated it into English I do not know what type it is.
