Tanka are well-grounded in concrete images yet infused with lyric intensity, with an intimacy from direct expression of emotions tempered with implication, suggestion, and nuance. You can cover almost any subject, explicitly expressing your direct thoughts and feelings.

sometimes

before falling in love

with my wife

again and again

the cries of swifts

a small death

the cracked shell

of a snail

now this delay

at the train station
