Pair of Zen Gogyohka Poems
A chapter in the book 2024 Japanese Poetry
My Legacy
by Gypsy Blue Rose
what treasures do I share with my children? summer sunsets by the beach, fall harvest moon, winter snow, and spring cherry blossoms
and when I die, what will I leave to my children? flowers in spring, fruit in summer, crimson and gold leaves in autumn, and pine trees in winter

Zen: a Japanese school of Buddhism emphasizing the value of meditation, calm, peace, and intuition
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.
