Tangerine Break of Dawn

by Gypsy Blue Rose

 

I see you wake up 

at the break of dawn

as tangerine shades

cover your face

with a gentle touch

 

 

I lie close to you

embraced in your scent

of ocean breeze

and sandalwood

with mist of dripping dew

 

 

a string of wild horses

gallop on the meadow 

and a charm of finches 

chirp and chatter

on the bough 

 

 

I kiss you and smile

entangled in memories

of our loving

throughout the night

too tired to get up

 

  




a 'string of wild horses' and a 'charm of finches' are the collective names

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.
