The first snow perhaps the first freezing temperatures have gone. Until late November the salvia were blooming blue and Gerber daisies were full of warm colors.
Here’s a go at composing a gogyohka.
the autumn rose
dry leaves resist the wind
bruised seed cases
recall the bloom
recall the bud

Gogyohka (go-gee-yoh-kuh)
This poetic form was developed by Enta Kusakabe and means a “five-line poem” in Japanese. In that they may resemble the tanka or the cinquain.
The format is mainly five lines, however, four, or six lines are allowed and employs a free-verse style that seldom rhymes.
Each line is one breath in length.
These poems are usually untitled.
Excellent.
