Gogyohka Poem for the Japanese Poetry Club

A chapter in the book Tanka Collection

When You Come

by Gypsy Blue Rose


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

     bearing gifts beyond my needs —

but many women

throw themselves at your feet

perhaps, much better than me
 


still, you smile my way

     and seem satisfied and pleased —

but I make excuses in my mind

of why you should reject my heart

when you come


 
 

 




GOGYOHKA is a five-line free-style Japanese poetic form with no strict rules on syllables count but as brief as possible. Any theme. Lines are grammatically connected. Alliteration, personification, and metaphor are okay but never rhyme. 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 taking the time to read and review my poem.
