Within Tanabata poems, or Japanese literature and culture, the writing process is much different in comparison to fables. The poems are often structured in a way that strives to keep the end goal always keeping their deep-rooted traditions alive. While learning more about their writing style, it has helped me when it comes to adapting overall in different writing styles and structures, as I feel much more versatile than before. The poems are usually always circled around the themes of love and longing and gave me a better sense of expressing my own deep emotions in a way that can be not only concise, but have a strong impact on the reader, which is usually the goal in these poems. Their writing has helped me to become more innovative in finding unique ways to express my ideas and goals to the reader. This can be seen within the story are of the star-crossed lovers, who are taking that saying to heart as they are literally separated by the galaxy, but that doesn't stop then from their love persevering. Their writing involves a lot of self reflection which is something I need to work on as a writer as it is a great way for me understand my own thoughts and emotions better which can give me a more authentic meaning to the goal at hand when writing.
