Zen Gogyohka Poem
A chapter in the book 2023 Gypsy's Tanka

I Still Remember

by Gypsy Blue Rose


For Robert
 
 
 
I still remember

strolling on the beach with you

   we searched for sea treasures—

now, all that's left of us

is ocean in the conch shell

"Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation." - Kahlil Gibran

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

Thank you for taking the time to read and review my poem.
