Linking with The Sunday Muse for Wednesday Muse #1
Hosted by Toni. (Thank you Toni) Today we will be writing a simple Japanese form poem. It is called a gogyoshi, and was invented by Taro Aizu.
It is simply a 5 line poem with no restrictions of rhyme, or syllables.
Come join us!

"In waking a tiger, use a long stick." ~Mao Zedong
When the tiger sleeps he dreams of the hunt
Running through brush and hungry for more
He will not rest until he has ventured far beyond the river’s
edge
And when his belly is full like the brightest of moons
Then when he is awake he will fulfill his dreams.
