Nette Onclaud Poet Sijo

On Remembrances

Midnight draped in raven black haunts me with hurt memories
As tiara of stars gently winks, lustrous amid pastel skies—
Igniting breath’s comfort to bloom come dawn’s fresh epiphany.



Sijo (has) three long lines. Each line varies between 14 and 16 syllables, with the middle line often the longest. The first line states a theme, the second line counters it, and the third line resolves the poem--Poetry Soup definition.
