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.
