A tanka is a 5-line poem of Japanese origin from medieval times where it was originally love poetry but now offers glimpses into everyday life. Perhaps, this example shows the power and beauty of the form:
"round and round
he goes on his tricycle
everywhere
a pleasure to watch and hear
(batteries thankfully not included)"
