This one would have been good for Remembrance/Veterans' Day. It must be so sad for our military folks to have to fight "alone" even if they are with their platoons, it's not the same without their loved ones.

It's about a samurai but it can be for any soldier.
Helen, thank you very much for your review and kind words.

This gogyohka, When I Fight Alone, uses sixteen lines, to my reckoning, and finds the protector as the last defense against invading hordes. Surely a last day for one, but many foes first. Nice.

Your title says: Gogyohka for the Contest
I guess this could be a contest. You have to rank us :).
This is very beautifully written poem for a Japanese or Chinese warrior. He stands erect in the snow facing thousands of enemies.
This poem flows very well.

I created a Gogyohka contest :). I kept it easy for the contest, basically a Japanese free verse.
Thank you very much for your review and feedback.

Comment from Terry Broxson
I have always enjoyed your work. As usual this is very creative and thought provoking. I suspect that this could apply to any warrior who ever took up arms. I also love the image of a proud fearless defender. Good job.
