Traditionally a tanka has five lines with 5-7-5-7-7 syllables. Tanka presents one image or mood in the first two lines, shifting to a related idea in the next three, commonly about sadness, love, the shortness of life, or the seasons. Unlike the Japanese Haiku, Tanka may use poetical devices such as metaphor and personification.
