"Thorny Desires"


Grasping his desires

He noticed his hands bleeding

Checking why he found

That he is holding sharp thorns

Pain—he let go of his 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.
