Simple Guidelines.
Take the words “nature & love” and write a tanka poem.
English tanka poetry consists of five units, usually with the following pattern of – 5-7-5-7-7 which is syllables.
- You can use the picture above, your own or no picture at all.
Copy and paste the link of your finished tanka in the comments below, I will acknowledge them the following week, also share on social networks.
My tanka poem – using the words “nature & love”.
love me love me not
nature nurtures everything
no options needed
enjoy living and except
pleasures are there to enjoy

Like your tanka poem, such sweet words for the arrival of spring.
Hope it is feeling much warmer in your part of the world than it is in NZ, it feels like winter, not autumn.
Happy days.
