Busso Poem for the Japanese Poetry Club
2024 Japanese Poetry
: Clouds Full of Clear Rain by Gypsy Blue Rose
For Helen ( lyenochka )


 
 
   clouds full of clear rain—

their cleansing cup overflows

from gurgling rivers

to seas of faith and blind trust

where they bathe in redemption

and unconditional love
 
 


 

Author Notes
(new: "my cup overflows") (original: "My cup runneth over") is a quotation from the Hebrew Bible (Psalms:23:5) and means "I have more than enough for my needs" ** wikipedia

This week's Japanese Poetry Club challenge is to write a Busso poem.

BUSSO POEM (Bussokusekika) is an old rare form of Japanese poetry that consists of six lines written in a 5-7-5-7-7-7 syllables pattern. Created in the 8th century and was written from 710 to 1185. They are usually written about religion or philosophical beliefs but contemporary Busso can be any subject.
