      @emlynaddison @Clarketacular 5-7-5-7-7 in Japanese doesn't translate into 5-7-5-7-7 in English. http://www.tankaonline.com/Quick%20Start%20Guide.htm …

      @FollowBlueFlute @Clarketacular Ah. Then this wiki page sorely needs your input: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanka

      @emlynaddison @Clarketacular Japanese words have more syllables than English, so the same syllables in English leads to a more wordy tanka

      @FollowBlueFlute @Clarketacular Understood; I'm just surprised this [essential] fact isn't included in Wikipedia's page on Tanka form.

      @emlynaddison @Clarketacular It is surprising, but the page does seem sparse. Guess it's not a popular topic :P

      @FollowBlueFlute That's where you come in: popularize it! If the form is properly explained/translated your hashtag would mean something.

          @emlynaddison It's pretty well known among the English tanka/haiku journals & their contributors, but it does need to be more popularized

          @emlynaddison @FollowBlueFlute Bibliography of English Tanka contains 1500 items. http://atlaspoetica.org/?page_id=705

          @emlynaddison @FollowBlueFlute It's sad that references don't adequately research their subjects, but it's how they are.

          @emlynaddison @FollowBlueFlute I recommend reading anthologies like, Take Five : Best Contemporary #Tanka Vol 1-4, to learn about tanka.
