Open Country by Gypsy Blue Rose
GOGYOHKA contest entry

day to day troubles

smother the soul

caged in a concrete jungle

as it begs for a trip

to the open country

where all the stars shine

Author Notes
GOGYOHKA is a free-style Japanese poetic form with no strict rules on length or syllables count but as brief as possible, usually five or six lines. Use a picture and word imagery. Any subject. Lines are grammatically connected. Alliteration, personification, metaphor are okay but never rhymes. Japanese poets have written free-style tankas since the Taisho period around the 1910s. However, they did not name the form until 1983 by poet Enta Kusakabe. wikipedia
