  1. Move closer, or: Unrehearsed

    A Sijo

    we are taught to bring bouquets
    and keep our trembling contained;
    the petals shiver in the breeze
    as though our hands had lent them nerves;
    one unrehearsed laugh escapes
    and you move closer to its warmth

    What Do You See 357

    For WDYS, Sadje offers us a photo by Daniel J. Schwarz (Unsplash) of a dog holding a bouquet of flowers in its mouth.

    As always, Sadje is eagerly awaiting our responses!

    Sijo?

    A Korean verse form related to haiku and tanka and comprised of three lines of 14-16 syllables each, for a total of 44-46 syllables. Each line contains a pause near the middle, similar to a caesura, though the break need not be metrical. The first half of the line contains six to nine syllables; the second half should contain no fewer than five. Originally intended as songs, sijo can treat romantic, metaphysical, or spiritual themes. Whatever the subject, the first line introduces an idea or story, the second supplies a “turn,” and the third provides closure. Modern sijo are sometimes printed in six lines.

    Let’s write poetry together!

    When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.

    Ben Harper (b. 1969)

    Would you like to create poetry with me and have a completed poem of yours featured here at the Skeptic’s Kaddish? I am very excited to have launched the ‘Poetry Partners’ initiative and am looking forward to meeting and creating with you… Check it out!
