Both poems capture a sad image in a natural setting.

Explanation:

A tanka is a poetry form that has five lines with unrhymed words. It is a traditional Japanese poetry form with the structure of five/seven/five/seven/seven syllables in the poem.

The poems "The clustering clouds..." by Minamoto no Toshiyori and Ki no Tsurayuki's "When I went to visit..." both have the qualities of a tanka. Both poems capture a sad image in a natural setting.

And a tanka is a traditional form, their English-translated version may differ in the number of lines or syllables. Therefore the focus should be on the imagery and emotion of the poem rather than the structure.

there are two central themes in the miracle worker: that the human spirit can triumph over even the most daunting of disabilities and that a dedicated teacher can transform the lives of those with whom he or she comes into contact. these inspirational themes have long been personified in the widely known true-life relationship between helen keller and annie sullivan, but the miracle worker also dramatizes collateral issues that extend beyond the particular case. underlying helen’s process of learning basic principles of what annie terms “obedience” (decorum, etiquette, and hygiene), there are more universal lessons of self-governance—the inculcation of self-restraint instead of willfulness, the development of self-discipline instead of self-indulgence. only when these lessons have been mastered can helen begin to acquire language—which, annie says, “is to the mind more than light is to the eye.”
