"The Tiny Seed"


Helpless, tiny seed

Showered with plenty of love

Cared for day by day

Growing into a large tree

—Withstanding the world's grief

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.
