Seems some troll has been visiting here. A word of caution, if any of you see red marks showing up on your comments, it is probably the doing of one of the racists I have offended lately. I do not wish to use the total block on everyone but friends and subscribers, so just watch for remarks that you think need attention. We can do without that sort of person in the community.
YEAH! Ok, first of all, you are my first ever response. Secondly, the poem is amazing. Thirdly, I can answer the question. I have the stack of half-finished thoughts, first-draft consigned forever to scrap paper clipped to a finish artworks, awkwardly worded phrases, like poorly made-up girls in the wrong prom gown, Erato laughs, and kicks the pile across the floor.
Not being a poet, but rather an eager student, help me out and describe si-jo. Japanese in origin?
As for the question, maybe. But such is the nature of those nags and nudges that sometimes all it takes is an unexpected impetus. Call it Drano for the brain...
Si-jo is a Korean form, three lines,each divisible into at least two parts. Syllable count is variable, generally 14-18 per line, the second line being the longest, and presenting a "turn," or change in emphasis or mood, with a strong finish. By convention, some Western publishers print them as six lines for convenience to fit the standard printed format. Their origin is apparently as songs, or perhaps as part of the repetoire of chamber music.
Almost Shakespearian in its intensity, beautifully written and delivered.
Well done (again).

I think that poetry is the heart interferring (thankfully) with the delivery of this vast emotionless dictionary of BS.
Song writing is the ability to let the heart control such delivery.

Excuse me, but did you just finally find a use for some of those nagging little images that keep nudging you and urging you to start something?
(Don't tell anyone, but that's why I write so many si-jo. Gives the little buggers something to do so they stop bothering me.)
