Tanka


Fluttering wings beat 5 First part is an observation of nature (usually in season)
Taking a flowers essence 7 (The natural references can be left out of course)
In heat of sunlight 5 Should stay in Haiku format though
Making a summer dinner 7 Second part is a couplet of 7 syllables for each line
Like a lover suckling 7 (usually a reflection about the earlier observation)

the road twists and turns
oak how many years standing
holding up old fence
fields will not bare after you
when old fence falls pests will enter
