Examples of Tanka Poetry
The students in Mrs. Hennessey's class used a photograph to inspire them to
write Tanka poetry. We typed the poems using AppleWorks and we scanned the
coordinating pictures.
We hope you enjoy reading the poems. We would like you to e-mail
us your Tanka poems that correspond with the pictures below.

| Pretty colored trees That are orange, red and yellow In the Autumn air An old barn by the water With a white fence around it. |

| The leaves change colour When the fall winds start to blow, Yellow, orange and brown Are the colours of fall leaves, Slowly falling from the trees. |
