Waiting for a Flicker

No spark, no flame, just waiting for something to ignite and catch

Oh a flicker growing, spreading, erupting to an inferno

Writer’s block unfrozen, scrawling to capture creative thoughts.

#VerseLove Day 6- Sijo: Korean Poem with a Twist

This was a challenge for me today. The true form of the poem baffled me with its 3-4-4-4 grouping pattern. I stuck with the 3 lines but went with the suggestion of another poet who just thought of it as 15-16-15 syllables in a line. That change freed up my mind and this poem just flowed then.
