Exceptional Gogyohka Poem Suite 2024 Japanese Poetry : Child of Yesterday by Gypsy Blue Rose I pray for abused children may they be rescued

child of yesterday trying to stay afloat above the surface of the past's pools in her aquamarine eyes       pristine porcelain skin made to be touched by loving hands but evil grabbed her first and ravished her innocent soul       lost in furious seas  of deviant intent drowning in venomous hate and lust of tarnishing abominations       all she wanted and deserved was pure and unconditional love  and out of white cotton clouds   benevolent God's hands  saved her innocent soul       Author Notes "I live with regrets - the bittersweet loss of innocence - the red track of the moon upon the lake - the inability to return and do it again" - John Geddes, A Familiar Rain 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.
