We ascend
The steep stairway to
A little
Heaven on
Earth made Heavenly because
We are together
~Adam~
This poem is a Shadorma. The prompt comes from Mindlovemisery's Menagerie. The theme is stairs.
A shadorma is composed of six non-rhyming lines (sestina or sextet) and the syllable pattern is 3-5-3-3-7-5. It can have as many stanzas as you like, just as long as each stanza follows the syllable pattern mentioned above.
I thought about writing another stanza, but I have a tendency to get too wordy if I don't rein myself in. Sometimes less is more!
I wrote the poem with my fiancé, Dylan, in mind. He brings a bit of Heaven to Earth for me every day.
*big smile* This is so nicely put, and your comment in the process notes makes the whole thing turn into one big 'awwwww' moment! Great write!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to see what you've done with your first shadorma! Very nice and hope your Dylan enjoys it too! Thanks for taking up the challenge! And have a great week, Bastet
