from an apple tree
a poem may be plucked
one phrase, then the next
gathering
a ripened abundance
~
This poem started as a haiku and then evolved to five lines which possibly could be considered a gogyohka, a contemporary form of Japanese poetry, introduced by Enta Kusakabe to reduce the restrictions of classical rules such as syllable counts.

ah, you’ve ventured into it! well done!
there is something very light, alive, vibrant about the poem, ~ not only for the apples, but because of the form – it’s active, dynamic – and really adds a certain energy!
Good on you Janice for giving it a go!
and thanks for the wonderful comment, by the way (over on B. and now, to make things easier, you can find me on WP, imported content and all)

You created a very nice gogyohka Janice. Gogyohka is a form I am exploring at the moment.
