Gogyohka usually contains five lines, but could have four or six lines. Gogyohka has no restraints on the number of words or syllables used. No title and no rhyming.

the first tulips pop up in green grasses

buds of all colors wave in that wind

leprechauns dash and sit behind

four leaf clovers hidden in the garden
