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).
Tanaka
Loyalty hurts me
I stay true to you and yet
Well, what do I get?
I trust and tell the whole truth
But you wonβt be transparent.
I care too damn much
I love so damn much harder
I stick right by you
Through all the phases of grief
But at least you are here too.
