Tanaga

Tanaga in Poetry

Tanaga is a type of indigenous Filipino poem that exhibits four lines with seven syllables in each line while following the rhyme schemes of "aaaa", "aabb", "abba", or "abab". Traditionally, it's written in Tagalog, but like Diona poems, it has been adapted by international poets in different languages, most commonly in English.

A Tanaga by Tatsumakenji

Life is an endless domain

Where everyone must remain

With a purpose that’s certain

To have something to obtain.
