Birds of paradise, adam and eve, and water Lilies are all flowers.

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

Adam and Eve is a shade-loving ornamental plant. This plant spreads quickly by self-seeding. All parts of this plant are poisonous to humans and animals. The plant can cause skin irritation and illness. The fruits are harmless to birds. They eat the berries and disperse the seeds.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read and review my poem.
