Exceptional Pair of Zen Gogyohka Poems 2024 Japanese Poetry : My Legacy by Gypsy Blue Rose

what treasures do I share with my children? summer sunsets by the beach, fall harvest moon, winter snow,  and spring cherry blossoms   and when I die, what will I leave to my children? flowers in spring, fruit in summer, crimson and gold leaves in autumn, and pine trees in winter         Author Notes Zen: a Japanese school of Buddhism emphasizing the value of meditation, calm, peace, and intuition Gogyohka is a five-line 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. It usually doesn't rhyme, but natural not forced rhymes are okay. 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 Thank you for reading and reviewing my poem. Gypsy Pictures from my Pinterest account.
