Everlasting Love [Tanka]

by Tammie   Feb 21, 2007


Love lost tragically
Only by sight, not in heart
Their love will go on
So strong and everlasting
Just like the day they first met.

------------------------------------------------------

Tanka is a classic form of Japanese poetry related to the haiku with five unrhymed lines of five, seven, five, seven, and seven syllables. (5, 7, 5, 7, 7)
