My heart will bloom like a lotus under the summer sun
My petals kissed by passion flames a languid breeze strokes my lips
The mouth to my heart opens from mud waters as a crown in light

The inspiration continues! I have more Lantern poems in the works, but this is another form of poetry I enjoyed! This is a Sijo, a fabulously short musical lyric practices by Korean poets, to whom it is dedicated! ^-^ Information for Sijo poems is here - go to slide 7&8 (https://www.slideserve.com/debbie/poetry-types-part-two) Each line has be 14-16 syllables resulting a grand total of 44-46 syllables. Mine is 14-15-16 syllable line by line with a total of 45! I swear, my love for East Asia continues to grow. It's giving me such a buzz!

I'll definitely do more Sijo poems and Lantern poems! Be back soon! Lyn **
