This piece is in the structure of a sijo poem, consisting of 44-46 syllables with a twist at the end. I learned about this form of poetry in my creative writing class as a senior in high school. I really enjoyed learning about this type of poetry because the "rules" that come with it feel more like guidelines and allow you so much creative liberty. I wrote this poem about going to dance recitles with my dad when I was young, where I had to have other people's moms do my hair and all that. But seeing him cheer for me was always the best so I wouldn't have had anyone else take me.
