Welcome to the Tanka Tuesday Poetry Recap featuring the work of poets from around the globe. If you would like to participate in this challenge, you can learn the rules in the menu item calledColleen’s Weekly Tanka Tuesday Guidelines.
PLEASE NOTE: Don’t forget to count your syllables. Use this site: howmanysyllables.com.Click on the workshop tab. Then, copy and paste your poem into the box, and click “count syllables” at the bottom.
For some, this challenge is a way to learn more about writing in English, even though it’s the American version. English is a second language to many of our participants.
I also understand that accent and inflection play a key roll in the way you say certain words and this will change the syllable count. Here is my compromise: Please try to get as close to the syllable count as possible when writing these syllabic forms…
Thank you very much, Colleen. That was my first post using the new editor. I still have many questions but thank you for the link (I bookmarked your post about the new editor and clicked the link to the demo). The demo didn’t give the answers to my questions. Will continue to find out. ❤
Colleen has instruction for all the poem forms that you can follow for her challenges. This is not for free verse. So it’s good to learn and practice! 🙂
