'gainst unwavering rock reef as my faith flutters in winter's wind 'cause He's taken my love ... again feeling all alone with no one to hold my hand crying like a motherless child at His feet warmly embraced by sunlight  |
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, and metaphor are okay but it never rhymes. Japanese poets have written gogyohka since the 1910s. However, they did not name the form until 1983 by poet Enta Kusakabe. wikipedia
