JIYU-SHI poem for the Japanese Poetic Club

A chapter in the book One Thousand Cranes

Where Cicadas Sing

by Gypsy Blue Rose


If You Would Like To Join the Japanese Poetry Club, please check my author notes


where cicadas sing, 

the wind stands still in reverence 

of the demure moon  

as passing clouds cover her 

with magical dust 

full of illusion and dreams 

 



 



Recognized


Reverence [ rev-er-uhns or rev-ruhns ] deep respect, awe, veneration

Demure (de-mur-er). characterized by shyness and modesty

Illusion (ih-loo-zhuhn) something that deceives by producing a false or misleading impression of reality.

JIYU-SHI (means free verse) is Japanese freestyle poetry introduced to American poetry between 1912 to 1926. The only rule is to write in 5/7 stanzas, you can write as many stanzas as you like. I recommend keeping complete thoughts in each line and connecting the lines grammatically for excellent flow. click here to read more
