Tanga (poetry)

Tanga poetry is a five-line version of haiga and consists of short poetic quintains in either the Tanka (a form of Waka (poetry) ), tetractys, Lanterne (poem) 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.

Etymology
