The Diaku form is, so to speak, halfway between Haiku and Tanka, as it has four lines of 27 syllables: the first three lines follow the pattern of Haiku, while the fourth line contains ten syllables (5-7-5- 10). The last single line in Diaku poetry represents a different but related experience expressed through images. This "finale" should relate to the third line of the poem: it could be a shift, a transformation, or a deconstruction of what the third line means. Anyway, this line should describe a diaspora, migration, and exile experience.
