Tanka Tuesdays #2

Tanka is a wonderful form of short poetry. Japanese in origin, it is often written in 5-7-5-7-7 syllable form.

For this swap, send your partner 5 tanka by snail mail. The theme is open and does not need to be limited to nature. Also include a short introduction about yourself, your poetry, and any reflections on writing the tanka you have included. Tanka for this swap must be in the 5-7-5-7-7 format.

Please use stamps on the envelope, not the ugly postal print out sticker!

For more information on Tanka, please see

is this 5 verses or 5 completely separate poems of one verse each?

It can be 5 unrelated tanka or one poem with 5 verses written in tanka. Your choice. :)

To everyone I sent to....SO SO sorry! Complete oversight! I did email them instead of snail mail. I was doing e-mail swaps last night and for some reason thought this was an e-mail one too. I will have them in SNAIL MAIL tomorrow. Please be patient....sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you lindabai for being so kind as to emailing me back to point this out! -Alex (aploenes)
