Silver WInd Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 The sijo is a Korean form of poetry, it is a three line poem with a total of 44-47 syllabels, and 14-16 syllabels per a line. A sijo may be made up of several three line stanzas. Traditionaly Line one respresnts the beginning/problem/situation line two is called the development also known as the trun and line three is a strong conclusion with a twist or surprise. Awakening Passion awakened like wild fire within the warrior’s breast as time spread he blazed his trail across the grassy plains to meet his final end upon the days first show of snow. Modern Sijo The modern sijo does not have to stick to the three line rule, but the syllable count remains the same.
