"The Dirty Log of Wood"

Dirty log of wood

Braving life's elements

Sun up to sun down

Battered by nature's fury

—But finally, it can rest

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.
