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).

a loyal heart

should I stay with you

for the show of devotion

when truthfully, it’s

your heart, not mine that values

loyalty over desire
