5 Lines Gogyohka
A chapter in the book 2023 Gypsy's Tanka

Shimmering Sunlight

by Gypsy Blue Rose

 
 
 
shimmering sunlight

streams through oak trees

as acorns fall in the creek

    their ripple rings—

expands forever
 
 
 
 
 
 




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
