Gogyohka Poem Suite

A chapter in the book 2024 Japanese Poetry

Goddess Aphrodite

by Gypsy Blue Rose

Aphrodite, 

my Venus,

goddess of love and desire

garbed in saffron sun tunic

and anointed with meteor showers

her celestial diamond crown

and moon’s silver silk veil

adorn her stellar beauty

among all the other goddesses

of an old forgotten world

 

 

 




Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, beauty, and desire, stands as one of the most captivating and influential deities in ancient Greek mythology. Aphrodite was identified by Romans as Venus. click here if you want to see a list of Greek goddesses

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
