Exceptional Gogyohka Poem 2024 Japanese Poetry : Billowing Clouds by Gypsy Blue Rose

feverish on my journey, I stop to rest and gaze at billowing clouds of smoke      over charred blackened fields—   thinking of spring's green pastures       Author Notes farmers burn their fields or pastures to encourage re-growth 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.
