The tanka is a Japanese poetry style that falls under the waka or Japanese poem genre. It follows a syllable structure, and usually expresses a theme close to the person who wrote the verse. Interestingly, in the Japanese style, there weren't actual verses but the translation into English separated the symbols and units into verses. It rained last night. A lot. It makes for a long work night.
Rain At Work
On nights when it rains
It is not easy to find
Bad guys in my town
The dark and the rain keep them
Inside, where I wish I were.
