Margaret Simon, friend and writer extraordinaire from Louisiana, introduced me to the Shadorma form. A shadorma is a 6-line syllabic poem in this order: 3-5-3-3-7-5. I thought of her yesterday when I was taking a hike through F. D. Roosevelt State Park in Pine Mountain, Georgia with my husband and dogs. We came across a hidden fairy door on a tree, and inside were all kinds of treasures – the idea being to take one and leave another. I just love hidden small things like these.

first-time baby grins
fairy doors
puppy dogs
old couples still holding hands
things that make us smile

What a delight to see this poem today! A great way to start my week. Can I use your poem this week for This Photo as well as the fairy door photo?

Oh – I don’t know that form. I’m going to tinker with it later today. Love the line: old couples still holding hands. Lovely poem!

These things make me smile too, Kim. I look forward to seeing the photo on Wednesday. “first time baby grins” are about the best thing in the world, aren’t they? Thanks for bringing the shadorma to our meeting tonight.
