Lin Lane Poet Sijo

Notes About The Poem

2023 in one to three short lines contest: Sponsor Andrea Dietrich

January 1, 2024

Bittersweet Yesteryear

Yesteryear mixed dulcet days with bitterly sour moments.
Zesty and tart as lemons, but tempered with honeyed memories.
This year, I will only journey through sweet orange orchards.

Terry Flood January 1, 2024 at 4:02 PM Dammit! I love honey and lemon lockets (throat sweet).But I’ll take the sweet orange orchards in 2024. Have the best 2024, Lin. Terry Lin Lane January 3, 2024 at 5:01 PM They're good for soothing the throat, but sometimes the sour outweighs the sweet and causes a whole new body ache. Thanks, Terry, and all the best to you.
