Gogyohka Poem

A chapter in the book 2024 Japanese Poetry

Queen of the Night Flower

by Gypsy Blue Rose

 

shooting star

wanders across 

   the royal blue sky—

queen of the night’s cup 

full of wishes

 
 




If you see a shooting star, make a wish. Many shooting stars are a meteor shower.

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.
