What is a Waka or Tanka?

Wikipedia tells us: «Waka (和歌, "Japanese poem") is a type of poetry in classical Japanese literature. Waka are composed in Japanese, and are contrasted with poetry composed by Japanese poets in Classical Chinese, which are known as kanshi. Although waka in modern Japanese is written as 和歌, in the past it was also written as 倭歌 (see Wa (Japan)), and a variant name is yamato-uta (大和歌)»

The lyric that is contained in the Japanese original unfailingly adheres to the pattern of the tanka (waka): five free verses, 5-7-5-7-7 syllables, respectively. Now, for complex linguistic reasons, which can only be summarized here, the Castilian equivalent of this matrix is a poem of five verses of 6-6-5-6-6 syllables, with rhyming assonant of the second and fifth.》- Ise Monogatari.
