∙ 13y agoa tanka is a mood piece usually about love, seasons, sadness, or how short life is. tankas use strong images and often have literary devices such as simile and metaphor. a tanka is short and usually has only five lines. instead of counting syllables, you count ACCENTED syllables. the following pattern of ACCENTED syllables works well in English for a tanka: 2/3/2/3/3. some claim the tanka contains 5/7/5/7/7 syllables. actually, you can use either method for determining the sounds in this kind of poem.
