For this submission, I am trying to write a #tanka. I came up with two variations -or it’s just prose. I followed the 5/7/5/7/7 form. The word prompts are search & lost.
no justice, no peace
morality’s gone
hate and violence prevail
love has disappeared
hiding underneath a rock
look beneath to find and care
find justice, find peace
seek and find justice
passionate action is clear
love needs to be found
hate and violence prevail
looking to discover good

Ruth, both are strong, meaningful tanka poems. Tanka are looser in structure than haiku. I think you did a great job! ❤

That’s how we learn. Eventually you might become a judge in a poetry contest… you’ll know what to look for. ❤️
