Gogyohka Poem Suite
A chapter in the book 2024 Japanese Poetry
Child of Yesterday
by Gypsy Blue Rose
I pray for abused children may they be rescued
child of yesterday trying to stay afloat above the surface of the past's pools in her aquamarine eyes
pristine porcelain skin made to be touched by loving hands but evil grabbed her first and ravished her innocent soul lost in furious seas of deviant intent drowning in venomous hate and lust of tarnishing abominations all she wanted and deserved was pure and unconditional love and out of white cotton clouds benevolent God's hands saved her innocent soul

"I live with regrets - the bittersweet loss of innocence - the red track of the moon upon the lake - the inability to return and do it again" - John Geddes, A Familiar Rain
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
