Exceptional Gogyohka Poem 2024 Japanese Poetry : The Old Priest and the Fly by Gypsy Blue Rose a little sarcastic humor

the old priest tried to nap but a fly taunted him with a buzz so he zapped it     with his rolled-up sermon draft— the fly didn’t see the light         Author Notes Gogyohka is a five-line Japanese poetic form with no strict rules on syllable count but as brief as possible. You may use any theme. Lines are grammatically connected. Alliteration, personification, and metaphor are okay. It usually doesn't rhyme, but natural not forced rhymes are okay. 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 reading and reviewing my poem.
