when the snow
covers the meadow
in silence
so profound
dreams of daisies linger long
after petal fall

The Shadorma is one of my favorite poetic forms. It consists of six lines… of 3, 5, 3, 3, 7, and 5 syllables…respectively.

Soul Song…a Shadorma
Soul Song
long ago
a secret yearning,
hidden song
remembers,
returns like a bell ringing
echoes in the night.thoughts of old passion
unique to us two
thriving there
as treasure…
kept in corners of my soul
waiting forever.©Sometimes, 2016
My poem above, a Shadorma (six-line stanzas, 3,5,3,3,7,5 syllables.) My original poem is inspired by the poet in today’s Mind Misery Menagerie’s excersise based on a poem by Julia Spicher Kasdorf. https://mindlovemiserysmenagerie.wordpress.com/2016/08/20/bps-shadorma-and-beyond-august-20-2016/#respond
A trio of Shadorma poems of Trees
Old Elm tree
American Elm
once a pest…
limbs too much shade,
extinction well on its way
lives in memories
tree farm grows
crop of sad seedlings?
Not at all…
consider
chance of life or none at all.
A purpose, not waste.
Of all gifts
nature has for us
best of all
may be trees
Trees serve us well all our days
from crib to coffin.

Go for Joy
reach for stars
far beyond the moon
live again
ride comets
make dreams your destination
take a second chance!
