Excellent Modified Ryokan Poem 2024 Japanese Poetry : My Knight in Shining Armor by Gypsy Blue Rose

Where's my knight in shining armor?       Did he get lost in the Valley of Death while he was on his way?         I hope he didn't get deep-fried by a dragon or fall into a mountain crevasse.       Did an evil witch turn him into a toad?       I do wish I had a valiant knight but I'll only go so far till I draw a line.       Author Notes Crevasse = deep cleft; narrow split or crack; crevices exist mostly in rocks and cliffs, RYOKAN FREE VERSE is a Japanese form created by Zen Buddhist, Taigu Ryokan in 1785. He used themes of everyday life. The classic Ryokan Poem speaks directly to the reader's heart conveying a profound sense of enlightenment, serenity, and compassion. You may use poetic devices. For this modified Ryokan free verse I use humor. Thank you for reading and reviewing my poem. Gypsy Pictures from my Pinterest account. Poem and presentation by Gypsy Blue Rose COPYWRITE@2024
