Tanga (poetry)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tanga poetry is a five-line version of haiga and consists of short poetic quintains in either the tanka, tetractys, lanterne or American cinquain formats, superimposed upon a picture. The poem complements and is relevant to the visual image. Normally, the poem is digitally inserted upon the related photograph, picture or drawing, in a type coloured to contrast with the colours of the photo.
[edit] Etymology
The term "Tanga" is a modern western coinage, formed from a combination of "tanka" and "haiga".
