Tanka
Wild Horses
Stallion rearing
Wild horses running free
Nobody catch them
Foals are born wild and free
Let them stay that way.

Tanka is a longer version of a Haiku. A Tanka is a syllable poem. 5 syllables are in the first line then 7 syllables in the second. Another 5 syllables in the next line then 7 then 5 again.


Quatrain Poem
Fire
Fire will crackle and spit,
Fire produces hot black poisonous smoke,
Fire’s hot flames fly, flicker, fall,
And then I start to choke
As the fire dyes,
I fall to the wooden floor,
Then I start to die,
As the horrible smoke drifts out the door.
