Words hurled in anguish
pierce translucent hearts apart;
rivulets of pain
await that healing love -- scared
behind reluctant red doors
*This poem has been written using the Japanese Tanka poetry form. It is a short poem similar to a Haiku(except that a Haiku expresses themes of nature) expressing personal themes of self-reflection. It is usually divided into 5 lines with 5,7,5,7,7 syllables respectively. The first three lines are the upper phrase, and the last two lines are the lower phrase. The upper phrase typically contains an image, and the lower phrase exposes the poet's ideas about that image.*
