For the Tuesday Morning Cantos Class.

Second ASSIGNMENT for lesson THREE: Please compose a chain Tanka of at least two stanzas (ten lines)



Assignment Requirements:



No prompt; any subject you choose but stick to the form.

Please attempt to use at least two of the poetic devices described in this lesson.

Must be at least two stanzas in your Tanka.

You may incorporate your previously created lines if you’re really jazzed about them...



Oh! bright, robust sun.

Your scorching rays aloft char

my soft, tender skin.

Misfortune shall fall upon

You soon and cause You sorrow.



When night will arrive

with twinkling stars and the Moon

will come as a boon,

You will hide Yourself from the

scintillating, silver shine.
