Gogyohka Pair
A chapter in the book 2023 Gypsy's Tanka

Her Majesty

by Gypsy Blue Rose

 

Her Majesty's

 

stellar royal cape

stitched with midnight stardust

and brilliant moon rays—

wears a gown sprinkled with Jupiter's tears,

and a Venus's crown of gold and gems

 

His Majesty's
 

bronze-plated armor

stenciled with sun rays and flames

ready to defend his Queen

shedding his blood till the end

with golden gilded sword and crimson blade






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
