shooting star
wanders across
the royal blue sky—
queen of the night’s cup
full of wishes

Author Notes
If you see a shooting star, make a wish. Many shooting stars are a meteor shower.
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.
