Gogyohka—The Five Line Poem Inspired By Its Stricter Form, The Haiku+ Who Is Enta Kusakabe?♥️
Y'all know I love poetry and I love to read. And one of my favorite forms of poetry is the gogioka. Hi, I'm Erica Bamba's book pick, and I want to talk about gogioka. Gogioka is a five line poem that is based off of haiku

Hi, Erica. Becky here from visions. Expression. And I really enjoyed your piece on Kokioka and the five line lengthened version of a haiku. Again. I love the fact that it can rhyme, that it also does not have to rhyme. And the cohesiveness of the piece should reflect the center and the core of it. And I just think poetry and poems can do that so readily, so easily

When I start to write a poem, it can be a page or so long, and when I go back to look at it, sometimes I keep it. And then sometimes, unfortunately, I have to slash at some of my words, pull them out, and save them for another day or another poem, especially when I have something to just keep pouring out. But writing in general is very cathartic, especially journaling personal poetry or poetry that you want to share. It's so cathartic

You. So this is my first time hearing of him, but I am intrigued and I'm very interested. I will definitely be setting some time aside to take a look and find out a little bit more about him. I like the concept of the back and forth with the five lines. I think that's great. So ah, that might actually really even be a great little exercise on swell, but I'm glad that you introduced me to it

Hey, Cheyonia Chey. Thank you so much for responding to my swell. And, yeah, it was such a beautiful thing to respond with five line poetry, and that would be a nice little exercise to do on swell. I would definitely try to see if I can dedicate some time to it. And even if not, I'm just glad that I introduced you to Gokuka. It's just amazing
