"Web of Peril"

Huge web of peril

Caught a pretty butterfly

A spider lurks

And eyeing its helpless prey

The butterfly's fate is sealed

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.
