Ronka Short Poetry Workshop 7/15, 7pm SLT - Ronka Short Poetry Workshop 7/15, 7pm SLT This week the Short Poetry Workshop explores a new invented form called the Ronka. Created by Kenneth Ronkowitz, the Ronka’s influence comes from the Japanese form the Tanka. However, the Ronka is 5 lines each having 7 words without concern for syllables. The ronka focuses on observations of the day. So join us at the Short Poetry Library to learn, write and share the Ronka.
