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

On the Fringe of Faith

by Gypsy Blue Rose

 
 
 
smothered by loneliness

in the empty dark home

she looks through the window

to lovers passing by

hand in hand
 
 


they don't realize

what they have

entangled in happiness

on the fringe of faith

in a sea of love
 

 

her bare skin remembers

what it was like

to belong completely

with heart and soul

dipped in trust
 



but that was ages ago

he left her without a word

until they crossed paths

her heart beating fast

he said, "it's not you" bs
 



now all she has

is watching love from afar

still waiting for him

pretending he just forgot

his way home
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 



Recognized


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.
