The Seven Wonders of the World

A poetic form - Tanka

It is a Japanese poem of five lines, the first and third composed of five syllables and the other seven.Syllable is the count of how we pronounce a word.For example, poem is po -em counting to 2 syllable and wonderful is won-der-ful counting to 3 syllable.Tanka is in the form of 1-2-3-4-5 lines with 5-7-5-7-7 syllable.In my poem I write about the magnificent man made constructions in Tanka form with free style writing.
