Proposal 1912/0: More Poetry
A Standard Proposal by PlayerPersonman
Last modified on nweek 70, nday 4
Add section A.6 to rule 437:
{
Tanka form:
Thirty, plus six among six,
Is a format to which Tanka sticks
A bonus of two
Is small, but will do-
You can jot down a tanka right quick.
[[
To clarify: Tanka is a japanese form of poetry consisting of 31 syllables (six among six meaning six distributed among six entities, a fancy, e-less way of saying divided by), arranged in five lines of varying length. Examples and history can be found at http://www.americantanka.com/.
This prop does not require the five line bit, because I though the void limerick was nifty enough to make such concessions. And besides, many ancient japanese Tankas were written all on one line.
