"gogyohka" poems
The pieces of clouds
fluttered down the autumn sky
Settled softly
On children's tongue
New Rainfall
I woke up
Longing
Memories still clinging
On the cobwebs of sleep
Did you smile in your dreams?
The dark skies
Winds sweeps
The clouds together,
Shutting off sunrise
Are you making rains today?
She wanders
In and out of my thoughts
Weaving cosmic dreams
With foot prints
In my heart
There is a thin line
Between love and lust
Between sea and sky
Between me and you
Lend me an eraser
Flew all over clear sky
Trying very hard
Like a stubborn child
To leave few foot prints, in your life
Off my memories

Gogyohka is a new form of poetry which has been developed in Japan. Gogyohka simply means verse which is written in five lines, but each line generally represents one phrase and has a different feel to five-line verse commonly found in Western poetry. This new form of verse was developed by a poet called Enta Kusakabe, who first came up with the concept in 1957
