#Shadorma

[cottoncandywoof]

first of all, thank you SO much for taking the time to go over it with me. i was having a conversation with a friend, and they said "Poetry is about rhythm and space. So it's still structured, there's just different ways to structure it", which is very general, but still a more or less satisfying answer. i understand the concept of "rules withhold creativity", but i believe i was more asking, when does it stop being poetry and become prose? which is more or less why i was asking, is it just it being chopped up? thats the only reason its poetry, with nothing else to withhold the medium?

The most sure sign that someone doesn’t know much about poetry is when they insist that poetry has to rhyme.

And the most sure sign that someone is a little too pretentious about poetry is when they say that they hate rhyming poetry.

Losing my religion, or: Don’t stop believin’

A ‘Garland’ Shadorma I shall speak of togetherness; I shall seek out shared light; I shall focus on the truth of one humankind let’s share our words of unity; let’s find strength in our love; let’s hold one another now when we need it most perhaps life belies perceptions; perhaps, if so, all’s well? perhaps concern […] Losing my religion, or: Don’t stop believin’

Where do dreams

go when they fly free

Once kept hid

then just fades

Beautiful they were

just like you and me.

NaPoWriMo 2021, Day 7

NaPoWriMo 2021, Day 7 Short syllabic poetry forms are the prompts today. I chose The Fib over the shadorma...and it has nothing to do with alternative facts! #NaPoWriMo2021 #GloPoWriMo2021 #FibonacciSequence #TheFib

…in which we tackle the short, very tautly structured syllabic forms of either the shadorma or the Fib. We have worked on shadorma in my creative writing Zoom workshops and I cannot say that I am terribly enamoured. The Fib, however, has a basis in natural science, not in alternative facts. Though imagination does enter into it. So I chose the second (optional) prompt for today’s flexing of the…
