Exceptional Gogyohka Poem Suite 2024 Favorites : Because It's Your Birthday by Gypsy Blue Rose HAPPY BIRTHDAY HELEN!!!! (Lyenochka)

today God caresses your face with the gentle touch of the breeze as you sit with Him by the river’s edge watching clouds drift afloat the water — because it’s your birthday — your worries wash ashore where He picks them up and blows them in the wind like wishing seeds — because it’s your birthday — how can I express how much I love you maybe I will write you a poem or two inspired by your loving ways I'm thinking about you  — because it’s your birthday — Author Notes For my best friend, Helen (Lyenochka), who everyday teaches me what true Christian love is. If you ask her, she will tell you she doesn't have a one day birthday, she has a month birthday. LoL She can tell you why. "4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." - Corinthians 13:4-7 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.
