Hello, my friends! I hope it’s been a happy day so far.
This week I was inspired by my friend, Annette Rochelle Aben to try a Shadorma. The Shadorma is alleged to be a Spanish poetic form but no one knows for sure where it originated from. It’s made up of a stanza of six lines. It is a syllabic poem with a meter of 3-5-3-3-7-5. It’s a fun and simple form with an enjoyable ebb and flow to the lines.
It’s the first of the month! Poet’s choice of words!
*The catch is that we can only use the synonyms to these words in our poems.
Colleen hosts a challenge that anyone could participate in called, Colleen’s Weekly Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge every Tuesday, and you have until Sunday to create a post featuring your Haiku, Tanka, Haibun, Etheree or Cinquain poem. She is an author and poet, and also does book reviews and so much more on her blog. Be sure to check it out.
