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

Title is optional
