Tanka Poem: Serenade of the Cicadas

riovanes (66) in poetry • 6 years ago (edited)

"Serenade of the Cicadas"

Sound of cicadas

Like the voices of the wind

Heard beyond the mist

As they whisper to your ears

One lazy, hot afternoon

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.
