Gogyohka Poem
A chapter in the book 2024 Gypsy's Haiku

Bitter Cold Day

by Gypsy Blue Rose

 

 

    bitter cold day —

grief-stricken widow

trembles at the cemetery

with her dog next to her

in still silence 

 

 

  





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
