Zen Gogyohka Poem

Still and Cold Waters

by Gypsy Blue Rose

 
 
still and cold waters
 
where empty nets and bait
 
go untouched —
 
fisherman heads home

with a boat full of moonlight

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.
