I Fear

The blood
that constantly
drops in Mendiola Bridge
reminds me of Martial Law years.
I fear.

I would like to share this simple lesson (especially for children and adult too!)on how to write a tanka. I got this while sufing the net:

To begin, choose a person, place, or thing to write your cinquain about.

Line 1: One word that tells what the poem is about
Line 2: Two words that describe the subject
Line 3: Three words that describe something the subject does
Line 4: Four to six words describing the subject further
Line 5: One or two words that rename what the poem is about (a synonym)

Here's an example:

Dalmatian
spotted, happy
running, barking, jumping
a wagging tail on the end
Fire Dog!
