A chapter in the book 2024 Japanese Poetry
Painting by Numbers
by Gypsy Blue Rose
Looking at the sky a child asks his dad, “Did God paint the constellations by number?”

Constellations = any of 88 configurations of stars or an area of the celestial sphere
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=wikipediaThank you for taking the time to read and review my poem. Gypsy
