Contest Description
This contest is a combination
Your poem must have both a traditional Tanka and Haiku. Syllable count is necessary
Tanka: 5-7-5-7-7
Haiu: 5-7-5
Any subject, but the haiku and tanka must relate to each other. They cannot be separate subjects.
You will have to use "Other" to post
Order doesnt matter: either Haiku then Tanka or vise versa
