Often I use a prompt word with the intent of using a synonym instead. The reason I don’t use the synonym in the PROMPT itself is because it might seem limiting. I know not everyone uses the links below to see what the possibilities are. See if you can use a synonym this week for one of the words above. But you don’t have to.

Now we have the Sijo, a Korean form believed to have first been used in the fourteenth century. It is similar in structure to various Japanese forms such as Haiku. As with many forms of poetry, the Sijo became a preferred poetry form of the yangban or ruling class as well as royalty. They were written in Chinese and were originally short songs set to music. The focus of the Sijo is usually nature and contemplation. We’ll try that to begin with.
You should use the word in the title of this post as your inspiration as either a theme of the Sijo or in the poem itself.

The setting can be nature, a favorite season, or some event of your day. Something, as I mentioned above that can be contemplative in nature.
Within each of the three lines there is usually a pause. You can hear it in the example below. The bold sections are the parts after the pause, or at least as I read/hear them. Reading your Sijo out loud will help with using the correct form.
The following example is considered the oldest Sijo in existence,
The spring breeze melted snow on the hills then quickly disappeared.
I wish I could borrow it briefly to blow over my hair
And melt away the aging frost forming now about my ears.

Adversity is constant. It may change its face, but it’s always present. Recently the thumb drive holding over 20 years worth of book ideas and first drafts went missing… and is still missing. It’s almost enough to make a person give up. This bit of adversity may seem trivial to some, and in some ways it is very trivial, but to me writing is a well for my sanity. Each idea and draft says something about where I was mentally at that moment in time. If you’ve followed here long enough you know about the other aspects of adversity I’ve faced. For me it seems loss is my ever changing faced Adversity.

I’ve been given it and I’ve given it. I’ve taken it and I’ve not. But I’ve still listened each time and do learn. Even bad advice can do good… just by knowing who that advice is from, you might find out it’s good advice by how they’ve turned out.
So I guess I’m saying all advice is good, as long as you’re smart enough to know how to get the good out of it.
