First he tugs her hat,
Then tweaks streaming locks of hair
And snatches at sleeves.
The wind teases, remorseless
As any favored brother.

Love it! Is there a name for this form?

It's not a form, it's a disease.

http://www.wodefordhall.com/heianpoetryjam.htm is an article I wrote for TI on waka. A metric buttload of which I have been writing for awhile now and also can be found on my website.

A disease? What ever do you mean? Now if you'll excuse me while I go grab brush and paper. Must think of a good reply for this to add to over on Tousando.

While you were not the "brother" I was thinking of at the time I wrote it, it certainly applies! Go for it.
