Tanka Poem: Waking Up From A Dream

A beautiful field

Filled with colorful flowers

Playful gust of wind

Blew away the sweet scent

I wake up from a long dream

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.
