Gogyohka Poem
A chapter in the book 2024 Japanese Poetry
The New Moon
by Gypsy Blue Rose
new moon spears
dark nursery where dry white roses die— in flower vase
the last baby's breath  |
- new moon is dark and hard to see
- baby's breath is a flower often used in flower arrangements
- white roses and baby's breath are often used at children's funerals
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
