Question: Is this the way a Tanka should be formed!?

Winds breath wafts smoothly
Caresses soft and gentle
Transcends me smoothly
Attentively virulent
Hauntingly mellifluous

Could you do me a favour please and rearrange this into an acrostic poem!? I see the word WATCH wanting to happen here and I my brain wants to process that!. Just a matter ofswapping the C and A lines which have the same syllable count!. OMG am I becoming OCD!?

Good stuff!

As I read it a few weeks ago, the requirements for a Tanka are;

A syllable count 5, 7, 5, 7, 7,

It should be about the sea /sky!.

No rhyme scheme required

Imagery is the key!.

You have the syllable count but I'm not entirely sure about the subject, although if you enjoy the piece who really cares!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

It is the correct syllable count, if that is what you mean!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
