Gogyohka Poem (rules in my author notes)

A chapter in the book 2024 Japanese Poetry

Lonely Night

by Gypsy Blue Rose

 
 
 
 
lonely night

in the Arizona Desert

     thirsty for love and water —

my only companion

a prickly cactus
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 




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

Thank you for taking the time to read and review my poem.
