Poetry Even When It's Not Poetry Month

I just learned about a new (new to me, that is) form of poetry. It's called sijo. It's from Korea and is similar to haiku in that you count syllables. But in sijo each line has a specific purpose too--the first line introduces the topic, the second further develops the idea and the third contains a twist of some kind. Here's an example from Linda Sue Park's terrific book, Tap Dancing on the Roof:

Breakfast

For this meal, people like what they like, the same every morning.

Toast and coffee. Bagel and juice. Cornflakes and milk in a white bowl.

Or--warm, soft, and delicious--a few extra minutes in bed.
