Day 9 – Gogyohka – Five line poem

Yep. That is it. The Gogyohka is literally a five line poem with each line being a phrase unto itself. These seem easy to write I suppose, but I am pretty certain they are not as easy to write WELL. Here’s an example… you decide if it was done well.. I’m not judging.

Spring Morning

The roses bloom
 when the sun shines.
 She watches silently
 as bees gather
 in the golden light.
