Exceptional Yamato Uta Poem for the Japanese Poetry Club 2024 Japanese Poetry : On a Flower Moon by Gypsy Blue Rose To Join the Japanese Poetry Club, please check author notes (poem in black font in author notes)

On a flower moon, I ran with bared feet across the bluegrass I looked up through the net of trees as they caught the Pisces Constellation The night bathed me and for a moment I lost myself in the massive cobalt sky The Universe became my skin and the flower moon was my heart beating in the dark Lightning came jagged and menacing but in soft silver light followed by faraway songs of thunder with electrifying notes   Author Notes The Pisces constellation lies in the northern sky. Its name means fish in Latin. Pisces is one of the largest constellations in the sky. Yamato uta is an unrhymed free verse type of Japanese poetry. Free verse means there are no rules, the poem is not rhymed and it can be as long as you like. It was created by poets during the Heian Period 700 century. As with all Japanese poetry, keep it as succinct as possible with word imagery, easy to visualize. Most are about nature but you can use any subject you like. "Yamato-uta is composed of the many words born from people's hearts, as leaves grow from seeds". The people use these words dexterously to express their thoughts about what they see or hear." wikipedia thank you for reading and reviewing my poem, Gypsy POEM IN BLACK FONT On a flower moon, I ran with bared feet across the bluegrass I looked up through the net of trees as they caught the Pisces Constellation The night bathed me and for a moment I lost myself in the massive cobalt sky The Universe became my skin and the flower moon was my heart beating in the dark Lightning came jagged and menacing but in soft silver light followed by faraway songs of thunder with electrifying notes
