Intrigued by the title I googled the reference to discover that, 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).
Yes dear poet Louis Kasatkin, tried 3 stanzas… of shadormas. Thank you loads!
A faith- based poem in shadorma form, containing a heartfelt prayer from the poet light and for blessing.
