Exceptional Gogyohka Poems 2024 Japanese Poetry : A Mother's Song by Gypsy Blue Rose dedicated to my mom

let me wipe your tears I’ll be with you night and day keeping you close –  I want to bounce you on my lap and rock you in my arms don’t worry about a thing you won’t face the world alone –  no need to be scared I will look under your bed to keep the monsters away     Author Notes I wrote this poem for my mother who died when I was ten years old. I always wonder how different my life would be if I still had her. She was a wonderful loving mom. 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.
