POEM STARTER

Write a Tanka, or a series of linked Tankas, on the theme of loyalty.

A Tanka is a short form of poetry with 5 lines: 5 syllables in the first line, then 7, then 5, then 7, and 7 syllables in the final line (5,7,5,7,7).

“Love”

It was always you

At least that’s what I believed.

Shut out the voices

Listen to only one: his

Watch it burn to the ground: “love”
