From Georgia Heard’s Small Writing Calendar: A Promise

I’m engaging in tiny writes this month, introduced by Georgia Heard on her monthly writing topics. Margaret Simon shared it on her blog earlier this month. Margaret also introduced me to the Shadorma form, which is a poem consisting of six lines with lines of the following numbers of syllables, in this order: 3,5,3,3,7,5. I’m using a tiny form for the tiny write topics and finding that it is a breath of fresh air after the marathon months of March with the Slice of Life Challenge at http://www.twowritingteachers.org and April with #VerseLove at http://www.ethicalela.com.

Today’s topic on Georgia Heard’s calendar is A Promise.

I wrote this poem on May 5 when one of my small groups of writers met. We were missing Glenda Funk, but Barb Edler and Denise Krebs and I gathered on Zoom and wrote Shadormas, a form introduced by Margaret Simon.
