LOVE HEALS
Hasty words can hurt
Carelessly spoken they pierce
Wounds will often bleed
Internal lesions cause pain
Expressions of love heal hearts
Tanka is a classic form of Japanese poetry
related to the haiku with five unrhymed
lines of five, seven, five, seven, and seven
syllables. (5, 7, 5, 7, 7) Probably best when
comprising of five short independent, yet
interrelated, statements).
