Exceptional Gogyohka ( five lines free verse poem ) 2023 Gypsy's Tanka : Coffee on the Porch by Gypsy Blue Rose For my friend, James ( Jumbo J )

Coffee on the Porch unbothered by chilly morn or night, he's grateful for nature's pleasures and his friends, creatures of paradise, some chirping to chime-songs and some nipping at his toes   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. glitter-graphics.com
