Gogyohka Poem
A chapter in the book 2025 Japanese Poetry

Spring is Woven In Your Hair

by Gypsy Blue Rose

 
 

Spring is woven in your hair

with the wind’s whispering whoosh

and whipped whistling boughs

   as rivers gargle and splash – 

e c h o e s    o f    n a t u r e

 
 
 




Gogyohka Poem without punctuation and in lowercase. It's enhanced with onomatopoeia and alliteration.

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. source = writers digest * source=wikipedia
