Gogyohka Poem Suite
2024 Japanese Poetry
: Across The Seven Seas by Gypsy Blue Rose

 

lovers cross the seven seas

with open hearts they go

on a wondrous voyage

their sails full of southern wind

where ships ride the mist



in the reaping season

they climb rolling hills

midst ancient oak trees

that wear their finest garb

of flaming leaves
 


with exuberant wanderlust

their kindred spirits

dance through azure blue skies

where eagles soar

exuberant and free
 
 

Author Notes
- Azure is a shade of blue

- The Seven Seas include the Arctic, North Atlantic, South Atlantic, North Pacific, South Pacific, Indian, and Southern Oceans.

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
