Gogyohka Poem
A chapter in the book 2024 Japanese Poetry
The Old Priest and the Fly
by Gypsy Blue Rose
a little sarcastic humor
the old priest tried to nap but a fly taunted him with a buzz so he zapped it with his rolled-up sermon draft— the fly didn’t see the light

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.
