Can You Sijo?
Issue: South Korea: May/June 2010
Deadline: August 31, 2010
Have you ever written a haiku?
Sijo is the name for traditional Korean poetry that is similar to Japanese haiku. Three features make the sijo unique ""- its structure, its rhythm (sijo were originally sung), and the twist or surprise at the conclusion of the poem.
A sijo consists of three lines. Each line averages 14 to 16 syllables for a total of 44 to 46 syllables in the entire poem. The first line introduces a situation or problem. The second line develops the problem, and the third line gives closure or answers the question posed in the first line, usually with an unexpected result.
