How to write a Tanka

a smooth mountain lake
serene in its existence
its rhythm inside
yet calm for it to control
sit, admire its poetry.

I haven't attempted a tank, but wonder if my effort for a haiku is suitable? Rhiannon

a flowering branch
sways in the gentle breeze
as the full sun rises,
an unquiet robin tweets
another morning unfolds.
