The Sijo (SHE-jo) is a Korean form, similar to its younger cousin haiku. They are written in 3 lines and contain no more than 46 syllables. Unlike haiku, metaphor, simile and other wordplay is permitted.
I pace the beach at dawn,
my footsteps, haiku in sand
I ask the whitecaps, why Derrion,
why only sixteen?
Lake Michigan falls on its shore,
the Hawk wheels and wails above.
