Do the double tanka with me! Two stanzas, five lines each, 5-7-5-7-7 syllable form each stanza (see my "Bonkers" for something of an example). Tag me, if you please! #doubletanka

Meliai in Tanka

In Control

I cannot admit

That I am often overtaken

That the sea loves me

And that I can not love it

For it killed my hopefulness.

The sea rides my back

So that I cannot escape

Yet I struggle through

And overtime I pull it off

To be taken over once more.
