fresh thorned roses
for the tombstone vase,
at her husband’s cold grave—
sprinkled with drops
of blood and tears

fresh thorned roses
for the tombstone vase,
at her husband's cold grave,
covered with drops
of blood and tears
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
