Gogyohka Poem Suite

A chapter in the book 2024 Japanese Poetry

If You Seek Pleasure

by Gypsy Blue Rose


poem about true love

if you seek pleasure

and fear losing your lover

take a different path

you’re blinded by lust

and are not protecting your heart

melt your defenses

against true love

like a brook melts boulders

    drop by drop as it goes    

singing the night’s song

 

dare to feel deep pain

of too much tenderness

sacrificing if need be

for the one you love

with an open soul

 





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
