  Tanaga - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tanaga is a type of short Filipino poem, consisting of four lines with seven syllables each with the same rhyme at the end of each line --- that is to say a 7-7-7-7 Syllabic verse, with an AAAA rhyme scheme as in this example:
Unlike the ambahan whose length is indefinite, the tanaga is a compact seven-syllable quatrain.
Poets test their skills at rhyme, meter and metaphor through the tanaga because not only is it rhymed and measured but also exacts skillful use of words to create a puzzle that demands some kind of an answer.

 Buhayin ang Tanaga!
What seperates the tanaga from the haiku is auditory -the possibilities for rhyme, the power of the tone in the meter, and recently through modernizing of the form, all of which can have profound effects which add to the flexibility of the poem when invoking OR violating these rules.
The Tanaga is a type of short Filipino poem, consisting of four lines with seven syllables each with the same rhyme at the end of each line - that is to say a 7777 syllable form, with an AAAA rhyme pattern.
While the Tanaga is originally intended to be written in Filipino, I advocate the use of other languages for this form.

 Tanaga - Introduction
Tanaga Island lies in the Andreanof Islands approximately 100 km (62 miles) west of the community of Adak and 2025 km (1260 miles) SW of Anchorage.
Tanaga volcano is the tallest of these (1,806 m or 5,925 ft) and lies in the center of the complex.
Immediately west of Tanaga volcano lies Sajaka, a 1,354 m (4,443 ft)-high compound edifice with an older cone to the east that collapsed into the sea within the last few thousand years, and a new cone that has grown in the breach.

Tanaga volcano, the second largest volcanic center of the central Aleutians, is the central and highest of three youthful stratovolcanoes oriented along a roughly E-W line at the NW tip of Tanaga Island.
Most Holocene eruptions originated from Tanaga volcano itself, which consists of two large cones, the western of which is the highest, constructed within a caldera whose 400-m-high rim is prominent to the SE.
At the westernmost end of the Tanaga complex is conical Sakaja, a 1304-m-high double cone that may be the youngest of the three volcanoes (Marsh, in Wood and Kienle 1990).

When the tanaga is compared to the ambahan, the similarities include: the meter (seven syllables), the rhyme at the end of the line (which was common in most of the tanaga, as already mentioned), the allegorical expression.

In both the haiku and the tanaga, the objects of the poem are the ones familiar to the audience.
In the tanaga, the “choice of imagery by the poet is affected by oral transmission.
The word play in the tanaga is different from that of the haiku because even though it also tackles simple things around the poet, the words in the tanaga have to have a certain rhyme.

 Buhayin ang Tanaga!: May 2005
If this is so, then modernizing the Tanaga by dropping the perfect rhyme, or rhyme altogether is actually a movement toward fulfillment of its (possibly) original form.
While I do not have evidence to point out that internal rhymes were used in tanagas, it is not entirely irresponsible to surmise that they were utilized, at least among the oral tradition, or in the ancient tanagas themselves.
It is such a pleasure thus, that when I am ready to update this blog, one tanaga in a local/regional Filipino language I have solicited months ago from a friend is waiting to be read in my inbox.

The swarm beneath 5,925-foot Tanaga marks the first sign of unrest since the observatory wired the rugged cone with its own network of sensors two years ago, said volcanologist Rick Wessels of the U.S. Geological Survey.
Meanwhile, Tanaga, far to the west, began rumbling late Oct. 1 and has since produced 15 to 68 tiny earthquakes every day.
The last known eruption of Tanaga occurred in 1914, when lava was seen flowing down its steep slopes.

Tanaga did request that he not disturb the little room where Gabrielle had stayed, but in less than an hour his wife had ignored that request, stripped the bedding and cleaned the room.

Like other Aleutian Arc volcanoes, Tanaga gapes beneath one of the world's busiest airline routes, with dozens of flights jetting between North America and Asia there every day.
Most Aleutian volcanoes produce tiny quakes every day, but Tanaga had been remarkably quiet for reasons that remain unclear, Wessels said.
This unrest doesn't necessarily mean Tanaga will erupt anytime soon, and the volcano's alert was not raised from the dormant "green" status, Wessels said.

 Earth Changes: Tanaga, Aleutian volcano, begins to quake
Volcanic ash blasted five to six miles into the sky can damage or shut down jet engines, so the observatory listens and watches for eruptions around the clock.
Tanaga rises steeply on its own uninhabited island, 63 miles from the nearest community in Adak and more than 1,200 miles southwest of Anchorage.
It's one of 28 volcanoes monitored by the observatory for seismic action, hot spots and smoky plumes -- including the 11,070-foot Mount Spurr that looms on the horizon 80 miles due west of Anchorage.

In 1963, Jose Villa Panganiban showcased his collection of 100 tanaga ahead of its Asian counterparts — the Japanese haiku and the Malay pantun — which are more internationally famous.
Of course, Villa here is Jose Garcia Villa, his counterpart in English as the “Father of Modernist Poetry” and AGA (as he is fondly remembered) has succeeded in striking a balance between looking back and looking forward.
And since National Arts Month coincides with the Love Month, tanaga’s flexibility can again be tested under romantic fire, so to speak, by asking possible contestants to text their love tanaga.

AB: During 2003, the northwestern portion of Tanaga Island (178$\deg$W) was mapped in detail for the first time during fieldwork by Alaska Volcano Observatory geologists in conjunction with the installation of a volcano monitoring seismic network.
Lava flows of Holocene age from Tanaga and East Tanaga follow medium-K trends, all lavas from Takawangha are high-K, and Sajaka and Pre-Tanaga lavas fall along both trends.
The lavas exhibit petrographic as well as compositional diversity: mafic phases in Tanaga lavas are olivine, two pyroxenes, and amphibole, at East Tanaga lavas contain two pyroxenes, amphibole, and minor olivine, and Sajaka, Takawangha, and Pre-Tanaga lavas are predominantly olivine- and clinopyroxene-bearing.
