Example of Sijo Poetry:
Horses (Sijo)
Horses run majestically
surveying their private domain.
Aware of their nobility
they spend their lives playfully
teasing all lesser known gods.
Ruling supreme in lush green fields.

Hey, Wlilliam! I really like how this poem uses all the adjectives to paint a picture. I think you should try to write one, though. It would definitley be more interesting!

That was a beautiful poem. I enjoyed reading it. It really captured the beauty of a horse. Although I don't like horses, that poem made me a little jelous of horseback riders. I really liked it.
