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.
Little
is known about this poetic style's origins and history
but
it is used by many modern poets today.
This
variation of the haiku, which is evident by its syllable pattern,
can
be seen in use in many writing venues
Example
Poem
Fickle
Sea
Quiet
seas
swathed in
moon's full light
are a
tease
with no
breeze
Urging motion
to delight
Man, with no
unease.
Strong winds
blow
Force into
the sea
then you
know
that the
show
of
tranquility must be
power in
escrow.
Angry
storms
singly, or
much worse
even,
swarms
now
reforms
fraudulent
calm to the curse
of wrath
outside norms.
Water's hell
Can destroy
all works
and
dispel
peace,
foretell
doom for any
when gone berserk.
Waves prayer
cannot quell.
