Hail Poetry!

I am the tanka. The attention of others Is unnerving, and Since I try not to draw it, I'm left alone. Which is good. What Poetry Form Are You?

I hadn't even heard of the tanka before. Answers.com defines it as a "Japanese verse form in five lines, the first and third composed of five syllables and the rest of seven." It is very true that I try not to draw the attention of others.
