Tanka is more or less an expanded haiku with two additional lines of 7 syllables. Syllable count isn't critical as Japanese and English seldom match. The objective is to get a whole image in few words (ideally with a double meaning) as AJ did in this one.
What do you think AJ? Did you like it?

so one line of five syllables, then three of seven and then one of five?
