Living The Dream

by Gypsy Blue Rose


Bright scarlet ibis, 

swept up by silver moonlight, 

onto wishful sky.

Dueling creatures of the night, 

sing sweet symphonies, 

to lull maiden into dreaming,

of faraway lands. 

Where bright scarlet ibis fly, 

among beautiful maidens. 


 




This week's event in the Japanese Poetry Club is to write a CHOKA. It's a form of Japanese court poetry of the 6th to 14th century consisting of (5-7 5-7 5-7- 5-7-7) syllables pattern. There are other variants of this pattern but I will keep it simple for this event. It was composed mainly to commemorate public events The total length of the poem is indefinite.
