Gogyohka Poem

A chapter in the book 2024 Japanese Poetry

*~ Harvest Moon ~*

by Gypsy Blue Rose

harvest moon 

      melts into the sea—

at the shore 

a  wounded bird's heart   beats

at the beat of ebbs at eventide

 

 




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.
