Sijo , shizho is a genre of Korean lyric poetry , originally called tanga ( cor. 단가 ? , 短歌? Literally "short song"). Sijo is akin to the Japanese hoku style. Each line of the sijo poem contains 14-16 hieroglyphs (or Hangeul syllables), a total of 44-46 in three lines. A pause is made in the middle of each line, so when translating into other languages, six lines are often used, not three. Sijo's most famous author is Yoon Song Do.
