in the dark nursery,
unopened boxes
of bassinet and newborn clothes
stand next to dead lilies
and baby's breath

Author Notes
Baby's breath is a flower commonly used in flower arrangements.
GOGYOHKA is a five-line free-style Japanese poetic form with no strict rules on syllables count but as brief as possible. Any theme. Lines are grammatically connected. Alliteration, personification, and metaphor are okay but never rhyme. 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
