Busso Poem for the Japanese Poetry Club
A chapter in the book 2024 Japanese Poetry
Clouds Full of Clear Rain
by Gypsy Blue Rose
For Helen ( lyenochka )
clouds full of clear rain—
their cleansing cup overflows from gurgling rivers to seas of faith and blind trust where they bathe in redemption and unconditional love  |
(new: "my cup overflows") (original: "My cup runneth over") is a quotation from the Hebrew Bible (Psalms:23:5) and means "I have more than enough for my needs" ** wikipedia
This week's Japanese Poetry Club challenge is to write a Busso poem.
BUSSO POEM (Bussokusekika) is an old rare form of Japanese poetry that consists of six lines written in a 5-7-5-7-7-7 syllables pattern. Created in the 8th century and was written from 710 to 1185. They are usually written about religion or philosophical beliefs but contemporary Busso can be any subject.
