Shadorma
It's Form Monday over at One Stop Poetry. This week, they're exploring Shadorma with Anne Welch. Since I discovered One Stop Poetry, I've been having a great time experimenting with forms and the many challenges they offer! Shadorma is a syllabic poem with six lines and the structure 3/5/3/3/7/5. I enjoyed trying it out and I'm looking forward to doing more. This could become one of my favorite forms! Here are my untitled efforts:
My Shadow
shady companion
dark psyche
cryptic self
hiding in murky fissures
of identity
Unformed soul
silent terror waits
in darkness
eternal
to grasp in evil fingers
the heart of mankind
