Gogyohka:
• 5 lines of free verse • No set syllable pattern • Short & succinct lines, governed by the duration of a single breath • Captures an idea, memory, observation or feeling in a few compelling words I bet we can have some fun with this...  Example: Sole commander of my ship with the flow I go and the pen is my alter-ego. by Ruth Berdah-Canet |

Somehow, this puts my lack of creativity today into perspective...
Droppings? So, it’s was morning again The coffee brewed While the songbirds sang And there was hope for a revelation But nothing other than bird shit arrived. |

The beach, whether it be bay or ocean
I can breathe freely and at peace The sadness lifts and my spirit soars I will remember always and forever When I was loved
