View From a Mountain Top
Tanka Tuesday No. 274 For my syllabic form this week I chose the 7/5 Trochee. This form has the following rules: 2 or more four line stanzas (quatrains) syllable pattern 7/5/7/5 rhyme of either a/b/c/b or a/b/a/b (mine is a/b/a/b) meter is "trochee," with is alternating stressed and unstressed beats. In the 7/5 Trochee each line begins and ends with a stressed syllable. (which is where I may have come up short!)

Clear across the mountain tops high above the trees, shall we flash in Morse code a plan to meet for tea? ©2022 Lisa Smith Nelson.
