Excellent Gogyohka Poem Tanka Collection : Undress Me by Gypsy Blue Rose If You Would Like To Join the Japanese Poetry Club, please check my author notes

undress me petal by petal till you reach my stem, bite me like a ripe peach,      or dig into my tree bark — Mother Nature is a tease         Author Notes GOGYOHKA is a five-line free-style Japanese poetic form with no strict rules on syllable 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.
