βShadorma is a 6 line poem (sestet) of Spanish descent with no set rhyme scheme. The shadorma is a syllabic poem with the following structure: 3/5/3/3/7/5β³
I think I just had a Kool Aid flashback. Your poem fits the goofy but cheerful image perfectly. Not of course, that you’re goofy or anything…Nice one, adam. I liked.
Had to Google Kool-aid Man, couldn’t remember him. Love your happy choice in this, but I paused on breakthrough… (as you intended); so many thoughts flow fast through that breach. Can get deep there. Love it!
Such a fun poem, Adam! I love that last line. Truth is, your poem is what inspired me to try out Shadorma! Thanks so much for this wonderful space and your poems.
