Changes in national. administrative regions lead virtually automatically to a. change in the NUTS classification; for non-administrative. regions, however, the NUTS Regulation stipulates that. changes must entail a reduction of the standard deviation in. the size (measured in population) of the regions.
Often, tanka read like notes from a diary and convey a single event that has some special significance in the poetâs life or consciousnessâa realization, personal insight, or memory. Spriggsâs poem also shows how the basic structural features of Japanese tanka have been adapted. The pattern of short/long/short/long/long lines is intact, and the use of thirty-one syllables in five lines of 5-7-5-7-7 parallels the pattern of thirty-one sound units of Japanese tanka.
General thoughts on Tanka Tanka is generally written in two parts. The first three lines is one part, and the last two lines is the second part. Tanka in English is relatively new, so there are not as many guidelines as with haiku and senryu. You may include kigo (season words), but it is not necessary. One exercise for beginners is to write a haiku and add two more lines.
