Gogyohka Poem Suite
A chapter in the book 2024 Japanese Poetry
In The Midst of Darkness
by Gypsy Blue Rose
for Helen who prays for me
in the midst of darkness
a prayer raises to my Divine Source like a motherless child seeking love and comfort sometimes I worry and sometimes I cry for small stupid things or for no reason at all it's something I abhor it's hard to lose control but to find peace I turn my will and my life over to the care of God I surrender  |
Lately, I have been feeling anxious and sad for no good reason. I wake up at 3 am every night and it's hard to get back to sleep. I worry and worry, thoughts just go around and around my mind. The only thing that helps is prayer and asking God to take care of me.
Some of the phrases are from 12-step programs which are very spiritual. Other phrases are from my Unity Church.
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
