Gogyohka ( five lines free verse poem )
A chapter in the book 2023 Gypsy's Tanka

Coffee on the Porch

by Gypsy Blue Rose


For my friend, James ( Jumbo J )

 

Coffee on the Porch



unbothered by chilly morn or night,


he's grateful for nature's pleasures


and his friends, creatures of paradise,


some chirping to chime-songs


and some nipping at his toes

 





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
