Gogyohka Poem for the Japanese Poetry Club
A chapter in the book Tanka Collection
When You Come
by Gypsy Blue Rose
If You Would Like To Join the Japanese Poetry Club, please check my author notes
you come in my dreams
bearing gifts beyond my needs — but many women throw themselves at your feet perhaps, much better than me still, you smile my way and seem satisfied and pleased — but I make excuses in my mind of why you should reject my heart when you come |
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 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
