Gogyohka Poem
A chapter in the book One Thousand Cranes
The Masterpiece
by Gypsy Blue Rose
Dedicated to Helen (Lyenochka)
Wandering on the dark side
amidst bluebirds basking beneath sugar maple trees away from cold-blooded snakes. The reflection on Mirror Lake was not the beauty without flaw the lord of the land expects. Who would want her now after years of shame? An ugly woman stared back from the deceiving lake's face. If her lover didn't want her she would jump off the cliff's edge. But a loving voice from within said, "You are beautiful as you are." and she felt loved. He said, "You are my masterpiece"  |
"For we are God's masterpiece, created in the Messiah Jesus to perform good actions that God prepared long ago to be our way of life." Eph 2:10

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
