6 readers get poetic in 'sijo' contest

Poetry in Motion

A sijo for Flo Jo and other sprinters who break the tape
should have speed, a bit of style, and then smiles to match the medals.
So run on at the mouth or pen; we are athletes of the word.

McCann's critique: "The form is perfect! (Has to be, for a sijo sprint.) Nice ‘twist’ with the phrase 'So run on' and a refreshing new subject, of the sort Yi Pyonggi was calling for."
