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
