Trapped in a paradise

The term tanka poetry refers to a Japanese five-line poem. Tanka, translated, means "short song." It is similar to haiku in that there are specific amounts of syllables for each line of the poem and it utilizes the literary techniques of personification, metaphor and simile to describe and create the ability for the reader to visualize the author's descriptions. Tanka consists of 31 syllables and distributed in 5-7-5-7-7 order
