Thank you B2 and much appreciated.

Sure thing, regarding the Korea-style sijo poems, they're like a cousin of the Japanese haiku. With the sijo poem, you try and use 14-16 syllables per line and have a total of 3 lines.

For me, I like to write a sijo poem for my Nature experiences and photos. I hope this answers your question.

Wonderful story of a special encounter, Neil. Love the way the bird is set against the white backdrop in that first shot.

You're welcome. Other birds can be so helpful sometimes, in spying the birds of prey.
