Among distinguished heroes, Spain boasts of Don Quichotte, the flower of chivalry. We have Don Chunsu, the lord of money !

grazie, Bo. ;D It was a difficult work, because I'm not a talented poet even with Korean language. Mysterious Hong, vixen spy Sorry now? Thought so My comment is... Hong is Hong.

Since we're doing Japanese haiku form....shouldn't we do Korean Sijo form ? Methinks, it seems more appropiate. Here's the poetic formula:
1st line: 3 4 3 4 2nd line: 3 4 3 4 3rd line: 3 5 4 4
I think this is correct unless my memory fails me. *the numbers mean the number of characters or in our case, the number of syllables.
For example:
1st line: sheepishly condescending waterfalls objectified
I know about this because I learned korean Sijo form a long time ago.
If it's too difficult then just do this:
1st line: 14 or 15 syllables 2nd line: 14 or 15 syllables 3rd line: 15 or 16 syllables
Have fun everyone!

Moreshige, I failed Poetry class in High School. For a minute, thought I understood the form, but I'm lost. Can you somehow show accents where the beats go?

Moreshige, thanks for the instructions concerning this particular Korean poetic form.
At first glance, it looks like its designed to keep the number of aspiring poets down to an absolute minimum but we'll give it a shot.

Go here, it gives a better understanding: thewordshop.tripod.com/Sijo/sijo-index.htm

Moreshige, thank you! I'm always excited to learn about a new (for me) poetic form. I've bookmarked your page and copied it out and will take it home and study it.
May be as much fun as my villanelle.

I think I need interpreters to explain my self to other people, LOL. I always think I'm perfectly clear...then, OOMPH! Bo

Moreshige introduces us to a new type of poem, And Du (without a clue) tries to write the thing acceptably, All so some poor reader will labor over it looking for worth.

I like. I like Sijo form by the way, flourished around Yi Sun Shin's time. I believe even YSS himself wrote one too. I'll have to search the internet to post one up.
