Mondo Poem for the Japanese Poetry Club
2024 Japanese Poetry
: Days of Darkness by Gypsy Blue Rose

 
I sit in my room

 sorrowful midst blank pages,

asking myself, where's my muse?
 



Behind the long night,
 
your joyful muse waits for you

with paper, fresh ink, and plume
 
 
 

Author Notes
When any type of artist is depressed, her or his creative process is blocked. It's hard to do anything that usually brings joy. I took a break from FanStory for two years due to depression. If you, or anyone you know, is suffering from depression free 24/7 help is available. The Suicide & Crisis Lifeline 988.

Mondo is a short Japanese poetic form that consists of two stanzas. The first one is a question, and the second stanza is the answer. The length varies from one line haiku to a 5/7/7 katauta.
