Ronovan Writes Sijo Wednesday Poetry Challenge #12. Use ROMANCE as your inspiration this week.

Use the above link to discover the various interpretations of the word of the week. Don’t limit yourself to the first one that comes to mind. Expand your thinking.

A new form of poetry for us to try. Yes, the Décima Challenge has come to an end after 100 weeks.

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.

There are:

  • Three Lines
  • 14-16 syllables per line
  • A total of 44-46 syllables for the entire poem.

To know how many syllables in a particular word try HowManySyllables.com.

  • The first line of the Sijo usually sets the theme.
  • The second line elaborates on the first line.
  • The third line brings the poem matter to a close.

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.

If I’m counting right there are 15 syllables per line. I think that would be a good target but the pattern is up to you, as per the generally held thoughts on the matter.

Ronovan Writes Sijo Wednesday Poetry Challenge #11. Use EXCITEMENT as your inspiration this week.

Ronovan Poetry, Sijo , , , , , , ,

The end of the school here for my son and I would say he’s excited but… well he likes his friends. But he also wants to earn money for an old junker of a car he can work on and not mess up the truck he inherited from his Grandfather. He basically wants to cut parts off, hammer, and make a vehicle be as obnoxious as possible or fix it up enough to sell it for a profit. Yeah, he’s already looking at flipping cars for cash. I guess that would count as excitement.

The Bright Side

In times of good and in times of bad… the good wish they would while the bad wish they had. Going from thought to thought, and from one extreme to the other, there are dreams that you sought and dreams that you smother. The key to living is not the path you take, nor the path you traveled, it’s the things you forsake while your world is unraveled. Remember this while you smile away… when you arise each morning… call it a great day.

Did you guess what my Haiku A Maple Leaf Invader was about last week? Well the past couple of weeks have been inspired by the titles of rock n roll songs. SMOKE and Water then FREE and World.

Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple

Rockin’ in the Free World by Neil Young

As some of you may know Neil Young was Canada and has both Canadian and US citizenship. Thus we have the Maple Leaf Invader.

The Guidelines:

  1. Take the two words and write a Haiku. I use Haiku in English (the link shows you how) as my style, which is 5 syllables for the first line, 7 for the second, and 5 for the third, but you can use what you like.
    • The link above has links on how to write Haibun and Tanka. You can also do the 3/5/3 form if you like instead of the 5/7/5 that I usually use. Write, share, and have fun. For syllable help,
    • For syllables for each word, and different definitions, you use the definition that works for you Haiku. You can also use SYNONYMS. Go to Thesaurus.com for synonym help.
  2. Copy the link of your finished haiku URL and paste in a comment below so we can all go and visit your Haiku.
    • You can do a pingback. What’s a pingback? Place the URL from the address bar up top from this post as a link within your post. Your inclusion of the link encourages others to try the challenge, be creative, and join a community to find friends and more followers (hopefully). I honestly gain nothing with more people visiting the post. I don’t have ads running that generates revenue by your visit or by clicks on whatever WordPress has put up.

  3. If you like, copy the image in this post and place it within their post, just to show the Haiku is part of this challenge.
