Tanka Poem: Silent Anger

A rush of anger

Feelings with nowhere to go

Like a volcano

That is about to explode

Can the anger be stopped?

The Japanese tanka is a thirty-one-syllable poem, traditionally written in a single unbroken line. A form of waka, Japanese song or verse, tanka translates as "short song," and is better known in its five-line, 5/7/5/7/7 syllable count form.
