Gogyohka Poem

A chapter in the book Tanka Collection

Wrapped in Pain

by Gypsy Blue Rose

 
 
wrapped in pain,
waiting for the tide to rush in
and take sand castles
with fragile curtain walls
to
   be
      washed
                  away
                          offshore
 
 





"Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional." - Buddhist Proverb

A curtain wall is a defensive wall between two fortified towers of a castle

GOGYOHKA is a five-line free-style Japanese poetic form with no strict rules on syllable 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
