Sijo Korean Poem

A chapter in the book 2024 Japanese Poetry

The Moon Goddess

by Gypsy Blue Rose


For Rules, Please Read My Author Notes

 

Have you seen the beautiful moon goddess?   

She reigns gracefully over the sky and sea  

as capricious tides come and go upon the shore.   

Seeing her is as rare as an aqua blue moon.   

 

 

 




I used 'aqua blue moon' for poetic effect. In reality, it's just a blue moon and they are rare, thus the saying ... "once in a blue moon". The next Blue Moon will occur on Aug.19, 2024. A seasonal Blue Moon refers to the third full moon in a season, according to NASA.

CLASSIC SIJO poem is a traditional Korean poetic form related to haiku and tanka. Sijo is comprised of 44-46 syllables. Themes can be romantic, metaphysical, reflection, or spiritual. Originally it was written in four lines but it's okay to write it in more. FIRST STANZA IS THEME: 3,4,4,4; SECOND STANZA IS ELABORATION: 3,4,4,4; THIRD STANZA IS COUNTER THEME: 3,5.; FOURTH STANZA IS COMPLETION: 4,3

Thank you for reading and reviewing my poem.
