Another fine poem, Gypsy, great analogy, being left and being stranded on the ocean in a tiny boat at the mercy of the elements; that's the way it seems at times, unmoored

Again, great metaphors. The words 'that I haven't been drenched in cold waves' are perfect for causing your readers to feel the abandonment and the passion of the situation. Once again, a wonderful presentation.

This is a well written Gogyohka poem. Your words are deep and passionate. These Haiku and Japanese style seem to be your style of choice. I was just wondering if you have work in other forms.
Beautiful and expressive.

I like the cohesive nature of the Gogyohka, which allows the development of a rich metaphor such as the one you have created here. Thank you for introducing me to yet another Japanese short form.

Those "cold waves" of abandonment is a result of the one who left and given the "cold shoulder." That is so heartless. You used the boat and water imagery well throughout.
