Gogyohka Poem
A chapter in the book Tanka Collection
Waiting Amidst the Reeds
by Gypsy Blue Rose
waiting amidst the reeds
knee-deep in mire and morose grief —
where great blue herons shout with raspy clucks and kuks as I scream in solidarity |

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
