Further Lessons in Poetry

So, if you clicked on the title "Two Sijo" below, you might have learned something about sijo. What I learned was that sijo, unlike haiku, does make use of metaphor and other figurative language. With haiku, your supposed to use literal language, put yourself in the moment and capture it with direct language.

What I haven't learned is how to link the text to the same website.
