A place for all Haiku Senryu and Tanka: a 5 line form a japanese poetry where the number of syllables goes 5-7-5-7-7 like a haiku but two added 7 count lines.  The senryu is poem in the short haiku form but its not about nature rather its about people society or feelings. Renga is a string of mulitples tanka form stanzas strung thematically together into one long poem composed by two or more poets exchanging a 5-7-5 and then the partner adding 7 -7 in response and so on and on for a many stanzas
