The spring breeze

The spring breeze melted snow on the hills then quickly disappeared.
I wish I could borrow it briefly to blow over my hair
And melt away the ageing frost forming now about my ears.

Notes

Poetic Form: Sijo



sijo-adaptation by Dr. Larry C. Gross, PhD.

    Brilliant poem. Fishing was probably a lot better in Korea 700 years ago, perhaps he was eager to try his luck at the lake.

    this is a strange piece...i don't really like it personally, but it is a good example of old asian poetry. i'm not into the old fashioned and just plain old style. nice job though!
