SIJO Poetry
Sijo (see-zhoo) poetry is a classical Korean form of poetry and one of Korea's most beloved poetic forms. Sijo poems traditionally consist of 44-46 syllables divided among three lines (although Western publishers print them in six lines). There is a natural pause midway in each line. The second line is the longest line, and line three employs a "twist" or surprise in meaning, sound, or tone. Sijo poems are untitled.
