Gogyohka Poem Suite
A chapter in the book 2024 Japanese Poetry
Unhoused Poet
by Gypsy Blue Rose
Dedicated to homeless people
Unhoused poet forced to walk on scorching ground, is covered with sweat and grime as wealthy people in air-conditioned cars pass him by avoiding eye contact.
 His useless “work for food ” sign hangs low heavy with hunger and shame. The homeless man’s only possessions a bag full of crumbs and poems  |
We are experiencing extreme heat in Los Angeles, California. We have an air-conditioner at home so we are okay as long as we stay inside. I have been thinking about homeless people and how difficult it must be to live outside.
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.
