This is an imaginary tanka written by one of the most creative tanka poets, Shuji Terayama, many of whose tanka read "like scenes from a movie, stage play, or short story." <br /><br />Generically speaking, this tanka can be categorized as "leaping poetry," a type of "surrealist poetry" where the artistic/surreal leap bridges the gap between conscious and unconscious thought, a process that Robert Bly refers to as “riding on dragons.”<br /><br />For more information about Shuji Terayama's tanka, see To the Lighthouse: Shuji Terayama's Tanka Poetics, "Fiction of Possibility," accessed at http://neverendingstoryhaikutanka.blogspot.com/2016/06/to-lighthouse-terayama-shujis-tanka.htmlChen-ou Liu, 劉鎮歐https://www.blogger.com/profile/06235248170011255532noreply@blogger.com
