Eliot of Along the Interstice is doing a November Shadorma Challenge. You can read about it here.
“The Shadorma is a Spanish poetic form made up of a stanza of six lines. (sestet) with no set rhyme scheme. It is a syllabic poem with a meter of 3/5/3/3/7/5. It can have many stanzas, as long as each follows the meter.”
Here is my Day 1, inspired by a fortune cookie, and Day 2, a bit of fun inspired by the foggy morning.
Light shining
through the shadowed world,
glimmering
battling fears
luminous rills, glowing streams
where hope ever grows
Misty morn
where night creatures lurk
shadowy
half-seen. Blink
and they will be gone—but no,
watch, they linger still.
Yesterday and today: Merril's historical musings 
Hope, with a caveat.
Nice, Merril.
Thank you, Ken.
The second one seems inspired by Jane’s Yeats #2 quote. A lot of synchronicity going on. 😉
Both well done.
Thank you. I haven’t really looked at Jane’s Yeat’s 2 yet. Maybe I’ll be writing more about shadows. 🙂
I especially love #2. Perfectly describes a morning like today, foggy before sunrise.
Thank you, Claudia. It was foggy, but then it turned out to be such a beautiful day!
Yes, it did. Very autumn.
Best fortune cookie saying I’ve seen in a while. Nice to know that hope ever grows, even in shadows (created by light). xo
Thank you, Pam! 🙂

Beautifully done
Thank you, Derrick.
You are great at creating poetry in form without seeming forced, Merril. I liked the first one for it’s natural world’s lasting presence.
The second one did have a little lighter touch and sense of fun aspect. 👀
Thank you for such kind words, Robin!
