A Rose In A Desert (2) (3) (4)
Rose by Nobody: 4:49pm On Apr 27, 2016 |
My emotions grew Just as Adonis' death rings Aphrodite knew Not until her touch thus clings Would I express my feelings Show me the death spot My lover is there; a Rose This love is yet hot She gives me love, like a dose My body needs her for a pose We were, before birth Birthed with smiles of affection Yet, and after earth; Immortal love, emotions Treasury of sensations 1 Like |

Analysis The Tanka is about the death of Adonis, Aphrodite's lover. When he died flowers -Roses- grew at his death spot. The poem uses the above story to create a love affection between a man and a woman named "Rose". The immortality of their love also gets it's root from the mythological love story between Aphrodite and Adonis. joseph1832, Dklef, gracile |

Nice. But Tanka's are suppose to be written in a single verse, and the syllable structure is not complete in the first stanza, line 4. |

JoeBlocks: Single verse ? Omg...thanks for the correction. And for the line 4,i didn't see that coming. You've a good eye. |

TheAgba:Single verse = single stanza. LOL. Just keep on writing. And remember, whenever you read about a particular form or structure of a poem, make sure you do a thorough research about it, check at least three or four sites to know whether the form is the same with the others, because sometimes, these sites contradict each other. |

JoeBlocks:Thanks for that. I would do just that. |
