Exceptional Gogyohka Poem for the Japanese Poetry Club Tanka Collection : When You Come by Gypsy Blue Rose If You Would Like To Join the Japanese Poetry Club, please check my author notes

you come in my dreams      bearing gifts beyond my needs — but many women throw themselves at your feet perhaps, much better than me   still, you smile my way      and seem satisfied and pleased — but I make excuses in my mind of why you should reject my heart when you come       Author Notes 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 Thank you for taking the time to read and review my poem.
