The Japanese tanka is a thirty-one-syllable poem, traditionally written in a single unbroken line. A form of waka, Japanese song or verse, tanka translates as "short song," and is better known in its five-line, 5/7/5/7/7 syllable count form. -

Tanka style:
Saturday Morning
I had the best iced coffee
Not from Timmy Ho's
Only from Dunkin' Donuts
Because it's the best
