Tanka Poem: The Bird Atop A Tree

riovanes (66)in #poetry • 5 years ago

"The Bird Atop A Tree"

Inside a garden

A bird's perched atop a tree

Looking left and right

Head turning curiously

Like a child wanting to play

The Japanese tanka is a thirty-one-syllable poem, traditionally written in a single unbroken line. A form of waka, Japanese song or verse, tanka translates as "short song," and is better known in its five-line, 5/7/5/7/7 syllable count form.
