New to Haiku: Free Discussion Area / Tanka
January 02, 2013, 04:18:17 PM
I am intrigued by tanka and would like to try my hand at it.  Do any of you have experience with the form?  I am particularly interested in writing love poems with this form. 

The problem is, it confounds me!  I can't hear the 'cadence' of tanka like I can with haiku.  I feel lost reading tanka.  Maybe I just have a haiku mind :)

Does anyone have any resources, tips, tutorials, book suggestions, divine intervention, anything that can give me a clue about this ancient form of emotional expression?
