"A Wood Adrift"

Rotten piece of wood

Thrown aside and then ignored

Only to be kicked

Into the wide, open sea

Float or sink, only fate knows

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.
