Gogli-eyed Love

Gogli-eyed Love
(A Susnika Poem)




What's this as I alight?
Love, gogli-eyed!
Churned up inside
By the fireside.
Maybe romance tonight?

Why am I gogli-eyed?
I'm at a loss,
As my eyes cross,
Then turn and toss.
My love can't be denied!

Even insects find love.

This poem is a Susnika, two actually. A SUSNIKA exploring human emotions. It is a fusion form of Tanka and Nanni poems, just like an Acronet or Quonac but with a twist. A SUSNIKA is a five liner poem like a Tanka and with a 24 syllable count like a nanni, but with a twist (nassus1957 modified version) of the fixed syllable count of Tanka 5/7/5/7/7 into 6/4/4/4/6 syllable count instead. The first and last lines are rhymed but the remaining lines with 4 syllable count are unrhymed, although, I chose to rhyme them.
