Overview 

Tanka

The tanka poem is very similar to haiku but tanka poems have more syllables and it uses simile,  metaphor and personifacation. 
There are five lines in a Tanka poem. 
Tanka poems are written about nature,  seasons, love,  sadness and other strong emotions.  This form of poetry dates back almost 1200 years ago.


Haiku

Haiku poetry hails from Japan and uses strict syllable guidelines rather than focusing on meter or rhyme.  Because the poem is short only three lines with 17 total syllables  writers must choose words carefully to create meaning.  Haiku poetry is typically simplistic,  but its meaning can have great depth.

This is from a girl with far too many words to say, in the hope that it will cheer you up during those rainy days. 𝐄𝐗𝐂𝐄𝐑𝐏𝐓 - 'It's consuming me. I'm sorry. I'll miss all of you, and I'll miss the occasional happy peaceful mornings when I did not know Truth. I'll miss the solace of lonely nights and weekends spent adoring sunflowers and blooming petals. I'll miss all of that, but it's alright. You'd be happier, I reckon - and that's all that matters.'
