You were able to sum that up nicely Andrea in your entry. Those short forms are always a challenge to come up with something creative and unique. I hope I see this a contest winner. Blessings xxoo

Ah, here it is! I've been anxiously awaiting your contest entry. Excellent use of the pleiades form to describe a Sijo. My favorite Sijos of your are "Invisibility", "That Colorful Drug", "Six Dancers All In White", "Twilight Magic", and "On a Goodly Bard's Passing". I'll have to try one someday. I always feel insecure using the short forms. BW in the contest.
