    TANAGA

    WHAT IS TANAGA? (www.wikipedia.com)


    The Tanaga is an indigenous Filipino poem, traditionally in the Tagalog language.

    HISTORY

    The Tagalog tanaga, which dates back to 1500, has been referred to as the Philippine
    equivalent of the Japanese haiku, but this is totally wrong. Tanaga is a poem composed of four
    lines with each line having seven syllables, written in aaaa or aabb, abba, or abab rhyming
    pattern. Tanaga have no titles.

    EXAMPLE:

    7 syllables The life of being on farms


    7 syllables It feels so light and warm there!
    7 syllables Because the animals there

    7 syllables Makes me happy as can be!
