<u>Tanka poems always have a structure, but not the rhyme.</u>
They follow the pattern of syllables which goes like this:
line - 5 syllables
line - 7 syllables
line - 5 syllables
line - 7 syllables
line - 7 syllables
It is very similar to haiku, but a bit longer and more elaborate. It also uses metaphors and allusions, and no punctuation.
