Thoughts: Choka


Night hums lullaby,
giving rest to heart and mind,
worries fly away.
Flowers unfurling,
petals imbibe morning dew,
a new day begins.
Birds flying across,
and my soul taking a leap,
to the world unknown,
I am floating purposeless.

Choka : Japanese Poetry forms, syllabic form structure, as follows:
5 – 7 – 7 – 5 – 7 – 7, etc.or 5 – 7 – 5 – 5 – 7 – 5,  etc. ending with an extra line of 7 syllables.
