Gogyohka Poem

A chapter in the book 2024 Japanese Poetry

Following the Sun

by Gypsy Blue Rose

following the sun

she'll never embrace the moon,

nor will she cool down

neath a tree's shade in June

as the river rushes by

Gogyohka is a five-line Japanese poetic form with no strict rules on syllable count but as brief as possible. You may use any theme. Lines are grammatically connected. Alliteration, personification, and metaphor are okay. It usually doesn't rhyme, but natural not forced rhymes are okay. Japanese poets have written gogyohka since the 1910s. However, they did not name the form until 1983 by poet Enta Kusakabe.
