Tanka
Tanka is a classic form of Japanese poetry related to the haiku with five non-rhyming lines of five,
seven, five, seven, and seven syllables. (5, 7, 5, 7, 7)
The 5/7/5/7/7 rule is rumored to have been made up for school children to understand and learn
this type of poetry.Brain fog settles in, Unfocused, drooping, weary,
Yearning to recline;
But still so much to do ere
Succumbing to that craving.
I hope this doesn't mean you're coming down with a cold. I like that you move into the feeling quickly, but qualify with the reality even when the need is great.
