Hola Poetas, listos para escribir un poema tanka? (post in English below)
Según lo que leo, el esquema de un poema tanka es por sílabas:
5-7-5-7-7
Un poema mío, cómo ejemplo:
Las peonias
amigas del verano
su fragrancia
es una meditación
y sólo existe el jardín. (translation below)
Tienen hasta el lunes que viene, el 15 junio para publicar tu poema en español o en inglés en los comentarios abajo (y en tu blog por supuesto con mención del concurso, para los que son bloguistas). El 16 junio, publicaré los poemas de los participantes y anunciaré los ganadores.
Como dije en el concurso de haiku, el sentimiento cuenta por más que la perfección. Escoge algo de la naturaleza como tu tema. Ahora, sí puedes. Vaya, son cinco líneas no más… : )
Gracias por leer Fake Flamenco! ¡Olé! –Rebecca

Hello Poets, ready to write a tanka poem?
From what I’ve read, the format for a tanka poem is by syllables:
5-7-5-7-7
A poem of mine, as an example (loose translation of the above poem in Spanish):
The dear peonies
friends of mine from the summer
smelling their fragrance
a serene meditation
only the garden exists.
You have until Monday, 15 June to publish your poem in the comments below (and por favor in your blog with mention of the contest, for those entrants who are bloggers) On the 16 June, I’ll publish the participants’ poems and announce the winners.
Just as in the haiku contest, feeling counts, not grammar. Choose to write in the language you feel most comfortable, Spanish or English. Pick a theme related to nature. No worries, it’s only five lines!
Poets from several countries participated in Fake Flamenco’s first poetry contest. Please join in this round!
Gracias for reading Fake Flamenco! ¡Olé! –Rebecca

And sheep bleat for straying lambs
Deer flitter through mists
Wild ponies drink at a bright stream
