#Autumn #Shadorma #Poetry

Autumn

divesting 
dreary summer robes
the landscape
shimmers with
magnificent crimson and
autumn kissed, limp leaves.

 ***

new attire
accentuates hues,
darkened by
autumn sun
changing the connotation 
of transient decay.  

***

just behold!
autumn sunsets that
add beauty
to branches 
adorned with ochre and red
some greens smile through them.

A Shadorma consists of a six-line stanza (or sestet). Each stanza is written as 3-5-3-3-7-5 for a total of 26 syllables with no set rhyme scheme. 

Thanks to Colleen for the inspiration to write syllabic poetry.

This week, my gratitude goes to Sally Cronin for a fabulous review of my poetry book –  Fusion – my latest release

#Shadorma #Poetry:Specific form

Flame

This red flame
carries dreams within
the fire,
the glimmer –
a volcano waits to burst –
a dormant desire

***

 burning balm
ignites a yearning
raging smoke
fails to sheath
the shifts that devalue love.
even souls smolder

***

its beauty 
dwindles with the smoke
illusions 
darken with 
the flame but it whispers love! 
tethers fall apart

Inspired from Colleen’s Specific form challenge. This week’s form has been chosen by Jules and it is Shadorma. I’ve written three of them on a specific subject.

A Shadorma consists of a six-line stanza (or sestet). Each stanza is written as 3-5-3-3-7-5 for a total of 26 syllables with no set rhyme scheme.
