The Grim's Danse Macabre
by Gypsy Blue Rose
for Dean Kuch
my grief rages across the mire
to my beloved's grave where I watch in disbelief the Grim dancing with the dead in a dismal black haze  |
-The Grim = is an omen of death, a shape-shifting black dog in the 17th-century.
-The Danse Macabre is a strange tradition from the Late Middle Ages. Artists depicted people dancing with decaying corpses and skeletons, to express their fascination with death.
GOGYOHKA is a five line free-style Japanese poetic form with no strict rules on syllables count but as brief as possible. Any theme. Lines are grammatically connected. Alliteration, personification, metaphor are okay but never rhymes. Japanese poets have written gogyohka since the 1910s. However, they did not name the form until 1983 by poet Enta Kusakabe. wikipedia
