Cloudless sky,
Granite peaks part blue
Bright canvas.
This painting,
Brushed from an artists palette,
A true masterpiece.

Perfection,
Born of natures hand
Is flawless.
To compare
With the mortal works of man
Would be an insult.

Author’s Note: The Shadorma is a poetic form consisting of a six-line stanza (or sestet). The form is alleged to have originated in Spain. Each stanza has a syllable count of three syllables in the first line, five syllables in the second line, three syllables in the third and fourth lines, seven syllables in the fifth line, and five syllables in the sixth line (3/5/3/3/7/5) for a total of 26 syllables. A poem may consist of one stanza, or an unlimited number of stanzas (a series of shadormas). The information above was from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadorma.

Reblogged this on The Arkside of Thought by Sahm King and commented:
I’ve never heard of this form before. The Shadorma. Check it out, my friends.
Thank you for the reblog Sahm, I really very nice of you to do. I found this form on the Writer’s Digest website in their list of poetry forms. There is some confusion as to its real origin, but it was still a fun form to write and a little more difficult than it looks. I appreciate you continued support my friend.
Word up, Dom! :) Yeah, I notice some of the “easy” looking forms are actually pretty damn challenging. I’m learning this just about everyday. :/
Yes, I agree, I learned that lesson myself doing some of the structured form poems I’ve done lately. I guess that is why those that are great at them are called masters. :)
You see a palette of blue upstairs and I see food! Interesting. xx
I like this form. I really must get over my fear of writing another poetry form.
Well, I guess we all see what we want to. I have been trying to get my weight down so I try not to see food everywhere, but it has been hard. :) You should try other forms, you have such a talent for this that I’m sure you would do really well, maybe try a chocolate cinquain or an Oreo ode or perhaps a Souffle’ sonnet, oh my god, I have to stop this I getting really hungry. LOL! :)
an oreo ode! OMG – you have inspired me:)
Well that should be fun…I can’t wait to see one. :)
Love the sentiment. Well penned too.
Thank you very much, I appreciate the compliment. :)
