before we met
my life was a lazy boat
drifting at sea
headed to nowhere
until you found me
the storm led me to you
my alluring siren
singing songs of change
you saved me from drowning
and I dove into you

Author Notes
SIREN In Greek mythology, sirens are humanlike beings with alluring voices; they appear in a scene in the Odyssey in which Odysseus saves his crew's lives. The suren in my poem went rogue. LoL
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.
