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!
