Join Us for #TankaTuesday

Welcome to Your Poetry Writing Happy Place!

Word Craft Poetry offers a platform for poets to learn the fundamentals of Japanese and American syllabic poetry. Each week, the community comes together for #TankaTuesday.

Participants submit their poetry written in one of these forms: haiku, senryū, haiga, tanka, gogyohka, haibun, tanka prose, renga, solo renga, chōka, Crapsey cinquain, American cinquain and its variations, Etheree and its variations, the nonet and its variations, shadorma, Badger’s hexastich, and Abhanga; or a syllabic form from the poetscollective.org. Poets receive positive feedback from peers who inspire each other to stretch their creativity.
