Tanka Game
Like Haiku game, we have to write Tankas, here it goes:
Tanka game. It's a little more difficult than haiku but, for me, a lot more enjoyable: '...consta de un primer verso de cinco sílabas, de uno de siete, de uno de cinco y de dos últimos de siete. ... La forma original prescinde asimismo de rimas' The format is: 5-7-5-7-7 English examples: 1.
2. Shirogane mo................What are they to me, Kogane mo tama mo....Silver, or gold, or jewels? Nanisen ni.....................How could they ever Masareru takara..........Equal the greater treasure Koni shikame yamo.....That is a child? They can not. 3. Sending my soul away To where the moon has sunk Behind the mountain, What shall I do with my body Left in the darkness? - Monk Saigyo (1118-1190) 4. Broken by the sound of the wind That plays on the bamboo leaves Near the window, A dream even shorter Than my fleeting sleep. - Princess Shikiski (1149-1201) Spanish Examples: 1. No haber caído, como otros de mi sangre, en la batalla. Ser en la vana noche el que cuenta las sílabas. 2. Bajo la luna el tigre de oro y sombra mira sus garras. No sabe que en el alba han destrozado un hombre. 3. Alto en la cumbre todo el jardín es luna, luna de oro. Más precioso es el roce de tu boca en la sombra. Los tres de Borges. |
