I love to write tanka and haiku.

near the trees of crows
the fugitive haunted house
opens its entrance
to welcome the last hanged man
and trouble the judge's nights

I just wrote this tanka (I'm back from the hospital). I think you may like it.

The Kabbalah claims:
We only grow through a fall.
In bad dreams, in tears,
in grief, in pain, in hardships,
a hidden pearl is to find.

Thank you for this channel.

Great video. I hadn’t heard of Tanka poems so will certainly look at these. Also the history of Ballads is very interesting. I will try my hand at both of these types of poetry. Well done both.

My attempt at a tanka poem

Seasons

The leaves are changing
The colours warm my viewpoint
They mark the changes
The seasons will march onward
No matter how we struggle

If I can try so can you, why not post your poems here.

I wrote my first ballad when I was 8 years old and my then best friend left our town. Its terrible and it doesn't make much sense but at least it always makes me cry from laugher
