After watching NHK this morning, (Sky channel 516,) I learned about Tanka - the Japanese poetry. I won't go into everything here, but a quick search on wikipedia will tell you everything you need to know about it.

In quick summary, it's a poem that follows similar rules to the haiku (5-7-5 syllables) but the pattern is 5-7-5-7-7. It is considered bad etiquette if the any of the words rhyme, and it is meant to be an inner reflective form of poetry.

Here is my first ever attempt at Tanka.

I stare at the web
Every day for hours I browse
my wife clicks off-switch
I'm spending too long online
Rather lose data than her

Very theraputic to write!
