Gogyohka Poem for the Japanese Poetry Club

A chapter in the book 2024 Japanese Poetry

Beneath the Harvest Moon

by Gypsy Blue Rose

 

beneath the harvest moon 

magic dust falls upon the land

setting halloween witches afire

to spook creepy critters in disguise

and fill their bellies with sweet grass

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.
