An attempt at a Kasa (Korean poetic form).
Childhood Play

My age enough, so join the game,
two years too young, I mind the rules,
mere assistant, I played my part,
older sister still led the show.



Korean Kasa
The frame of the Kasa is loosely adhered to but parallels are paramount.
I am not sure that I understand what is meant by “parallel” in this context. With Merriam-Webster’s help, I have taken it to mean that two lines say the same thing in different ways. To retain at least a vague grip on certainty, each line contains eight syllables.
