Gogyohka Poem

A chapter in the book 2024 Japanese Poetry

Hothouse Orchids

by Gypsy Blue Rose

hothouse orchids

seem to gaze at the raging storm

wishing to be

a dandelion in the wind

living dangerously


 
 
 




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.
