POEM STARTER

Write a Tanka on the theme of Friendship.

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 in the last (5,7,5,7,7).

it’s ok to let go

I had a friend once,

Sometimes she stuck up for me,

Sometimes she didn’t,

And although she hurt me hard,

I now know how to let go.
