The First Anthology of World Gogyoshi

Editors: Taro Aizu, Niladri Mahajan 2018

Preface Hello, all readers!

This is the first anthology of World Gogyoshi Society. What is World Gogyoshi Society? I founded it in facebook with about 150 poets all over the world on July 1,2018. Then I made five rules of World Gogyoshi Society. But we changed it a little like this.

1.We call our group “ WorldGogyoshi Society” 2.We agree with five rules of World Gogyoshi.

3.We write minimum 1 Gogyoshi every week.

4.We belong to one of World Gogyoshi Asia,Africa, America, Europe, Oceania.

5.Founder of World Gogyoshi Society is Taro Aizu. (December 2,2018) What is “five rules of World Gogyoshi”? I made it with some admins of Gogyoshi siteslike this on July 1, 2018. But we changed it into five rules so that many poets can understand Gogyoshi and write it more easily.

Five rules of World Gogyoshi 1. World Gogyoshi is based on penta stich.

2. World Gogyoshi has a title.

3. World Gogyoshi is written in only five lines.

4. Line breaks of World Gogyoshi is free.

5. The theme of Gogyoshi is World Peace.(December 2,2018) What is “pentastich”? It’s a sequence of five lines poems in ancient Greece. We should respect it as the motherof Gogyoshi. Gogyoshi is different from Japanese five lines poems such as Tanka or Gogyohka because they have no title. Gogyoshi is different from western five lines poems such as Cinquain, Limerich, Quintet and so on because they have restraints of syllables, rhymes

and so on. There are many kinds of five lines poems all over the world. But there are small differences among them. Let’s enjoy writing Gogyoshi all over the world from now on.

Congratulations on the FIRST anthology of World Gogyoshi!

Merry Christmas!

Happy New Year!

All Gogyoshians in Asia, Africa, America, Europe and Oceania All over the world!

Like a tree whose roots were too weak to hold on To the soil of family, he failed and fell.

But from him I learned to fight my battles And he taught me well.

Ama Ang aking amang minahal ay wala na - isang di sakdal na tao.

Pero sa kanya ko natutunan ang lumaban sa laban ng buhay At mahusay niya akong naturuan.

It's so simple, but can confer deepest meanings and sublimity when written truly. Yes, Taro San is very kind, warm and humble that he give me the responsibility to edit the first anthology of world Gogyoshi. It's a wonderful experience and learning to know all of you amazing people from all over the world, and your Gogyoshi poems. I think you will be pleased to have this anthology, and see all of you united in a book as you all truly are, in this worldwide movement. Keep writing Gogyoshi.
