In exploring new and old poetic expressions, I came across a Tanka. Similar to the Haiku or earlier Hokku, it used a defined set of syllables (5-7-5-7-7) along with a overarching thematic. In the case of the Tanka, it was a courtly or religious theme. Below is the first attempt at this, using a morals play in place of a overtly religious theme. Enjoy!

A cat…a hat…fun.
A lesson and a warning…
Normal children misbehave.
