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
 
 
 

 



Recognized


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
