Gogyohka Poem Suite
A chapter in the book 2024 Japanese Poetry
~ I Don't Want To Die ~
by Gypsy Blue Rose
word definitions and poem form in author notes
I don't want to die without tasting your lips and your salty golden skin but you live on a distant shore
I don't want to die crying inconsolably like a motherless child in nobody's embrace below the cloudy sky I don't want to die without blending our bodies and souls riding on a gypsy's caravan
wandering on winding roads
I don't want to die without feeling your love like a tight tango dance beneath the bewitching Venus and the jealous Moon  |
Caravan = a group of travelers journeying together like a group of gypsies or pilgrims
Inconsolably = not able to be comforted
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=wikipedia
