What I Learned This Year
March 15, 2021
School is the Smartboard in front of me, the whiteboards to the sides.
School is the classmate behind me, the hallways echoing with noise.
School was that. Now it’s ninety-six glowing square inches. The rest is my house.

This is a Korean form of poetry called sijo. It has three lines, each with a total syllable count of 14-16. The third line has a twist and usually begins with a group of 3 syllables. I learned about it in my English class.
Virtual learning can be really hard sometimes. In this poem, I tried to capture how hard it is to not be immersed in school.
