Welcome to my April 2025 Great and Powerful Blogging from A to Z Challenge!

I’ve revealed my theme (A poem a day…with pictures), and of course, I am unashamedly blogging my theme letters on the fly.  So, here goes nothing!

So, without further ado, S is for …Shadorma

“Shadorma is a poetic form consisting of a sestet (six-line stanza). Each stanza of this form 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. This form may have one or an unlimited mnumber of stanzas as long as each follows the meter.“

Trust Me

Cat lies down
rolls to show belly.
Demands pats
until done,
with claws outstretched to tell me
it’s time to stop now
