Gogyohka Poem

A chapter in the book 2024 Japanese Poetry

The Calm After The Storm

by Gypsy Blue Rose


For my best friend

the sun may hide

behind thunderous storms

but keep your faith—

when in darkness

look for the Light





For my best friend and her husband who is facing health challenges.

"Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul" - 3 John 1:2

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.
