Thank you so much, Pashang! This is a form of poetry that I had never heard of but found challenging just to attempt a poem that followed the gist. Now, we must await the results of the judging. I appreciate your support.

Thought provoking verse Curtis, thought it was someplace to store grain lol. Never heard of it either. Good luck. Tom

I appreciate this, Tom. Your wit and humor seem to run along much the same line as mine. I decided to 'test the waters' and enter the contest just to see what transpires.

Thank you so kindly, Line! I had never heard of Sijo until tonight. I just decided to try my luck and enter a contest with such a strange form of poetry. We shall see what we shall see!!
