Forward
Experience is woven
into the fabric of our lives.
Understanding our mistakes
gives us the strength to move forward.
The things we fear will follow us
until we let them go.
This is my response to Ronovan Writes Sijo Challenge #47: Escape.
Sijo (a Korean verse form related to haiku and tanka)
~ three lines of 14-16 syllables each
~ a total of 44-46 syllables
~ a pause near the middle of each line
~ 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.

Over the years, I’ve caught my finger in more than a few loose threads.
