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. - See more at: http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/5793#sthash.zUmJmz1r.dpuf
Tanka style:
A difficult week
I'm ready for the weekend
Plans with friends are made
Time to stay up or sleep in
Let's hope the weather is good.
