Gogyohka Poem
A chapter in the book Tanka Collection
~ Winter Night ~
by Gypsy Blue Rose
winter night
I cuddle with the sweater that still holds your scent — the rest of your clothes in Goodwill boxes  |

(for our fanstory friends in other countries) In America, Goodwill is a nonprofit organization that collects donations and uses the money to benefit destitute people. Sometimes, when people die, their clothes are donated to Goodwill.
GOGYOHKA is a five-line free-style Japanese poetic form with no strict rules on syllable count but as brief as possible. Any theme. Lines are grammatically connected. Alliteration, personification, and metaphor are okay but never rhyme. Japanese poets have written gogyohka since the 1910s. However, they did not name the form until 1983 by poet Enta Kusakabe. === source = writers digest ===source=wikipedia
