the endless night is coming

    on the frigid wind’s coattail—

the cold moon hides

behind your indifference

where my wishful love dies
 
 
 
 

 




Cold Fool Moon happens in December

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.
