Today I wrote two tanka poems. A tanka poem has 5 lines with a syllable count of 5-7-5-7-7. The first line has 5 syllables, the second has 7 syllables, the third has 5 syllables, and the last two lines each have 7 syllables. I hope you enjoy my poems!
The Gray Cat
By Candace Shultz
By Candace Shultz
A gray cat goes out
To explore new sights and smells.
She sniffs a red wasp.
It stings her paw. The cat flips
In the air and runs inside.

A Storm is Foretold
By Candace Shultz
Gray skies this morning
A smell of earth in the air
Rain will be here soon
A cool breeze blows through the trees
Whispering of storms to come
