Light waves refracting,
Off the undulating flow,
Dancing and playing,
Clear and fresh with the new day,
Awaiting the nights return.
Author notes
This is my first "Tanka" poem which is a more lengthy relative of the Haiku. It has a 5-7-5-7-7 setup. 5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllablles, 7 syllables, 7 syllables... let me know if you like it or if it just plain sucks. :-P haha enjoy!

Great job!
It was really nice, not to mention a lovely structure. I've never heard of "Tanka" poetry but you certainly have set a great first impression!! The poem is great. I can never seem to write good poetry in a set form, I can really only completely express myself in free verse.. Anyways great job! -
I don't know about the rules...
but the simple picture of is nice.
