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).

Old Dog

I am your old dog

And I try, but I can’t bark

But I might still bite

If only to leave my mark

So you will remember me.
