Wandering on the dark side
amidst bluebirds
basking beneath
sugar maple trees
away from cold-blooded snakes.
The reflection on Mirror Lake
was not the beauty without flaw
the lord of the land expects.
Who would want her now
after years of shame?
An ugly woman stared back
from the deceiving lake's face.
If her lover didn't want her
she would jump off
the cliff's edge.
But a loving voice
from within said,
"You are beautiful as you are."
and she felt loved.
He said, "You are my masterpiece"

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
