It’s not fair, the way you hold from day to night. Left then right,
a passion for the touch of togetherness found by blue light.
Too many screens fill our world view, alone we text as friends fail.
Poetic Form #44: Sijo
A sijo is a traditional three-line Korean poetic form. Each of the three lines average
14-16 syllables, for a total of 44-46 syllables. The first line is usually written in
a 3-4-4-4 pattern and states the theme of the poem. The second line builds on the
theme and is usually written in a 3-4-4-4 pattern, too. The third line is divided into
two sections; the counter-theme (or twist), is grouped as 3-5, while the second part,
the conclusion, is written as 4-3.
