Author Notes
Tightrope walking is the skill of walking along a thin wire or rope usually in the circus.

Haiga is a Japanese poem embedded in a picture.

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. wikipediafor more info click here

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