Ekphrastic Gogyohka Poem
2024 Japanese Poetry
: Love is All there Is by Gypsy Blue Rose

svelte gypsy 

with smooth alabaster skin

    caressed by jasmine breeze —

that play with her moonless night hair

as her eyes light up the pond with love

 

 

 

Author Notes
There are only two choices in the world, LOVE or FEAR. I chose LOVE.

Ekphrastic is a poem inspired by a picture or painting

Gogyohka is a five-line free-style Japanese poetic form with no strict rules on syllable count but as brief as possible. You may use 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.
