reflecting colors of dawn –
I embrace the day

The Shadorma consists of a six-line stanza (or sestet). Each stanza is written as 3-5-3-3-7-5 for a total of 26 syllables with no set rhyme scheme. When writing a Shadorma, I would concentrate on a specific subject. Shadorma need a title.
For Tanka Tuesday with Colleen where we are using the specific form- Shadorma. To read or participate go here

I have been plotting an escape up to the mountains for a while now. But it never seems to work out.
I don’t want to leave just to have to turn around and come back. Too much on my plate, as my mom used to say.
So, until then, I dream. The mountain air mixed with the melodies of the rambunctious creek, always brings me peace.
