The Shadorma form is six lines, containing a syllable line count in this order: 3/5/3/3/7/5. To welcome December, I celebrate all those who are special in my life today – family, readers (that’s you), writing circles, book club, and friends who fill my life with warmth.
leaning in
pouring tea with friends
embracing
fireside warmth
this is how to live a life~
I got dressed for this!

I’m with Sharon! Love the last line! I might need to use “I got dressed for this!” in a future writing project!

Thanks for reminding me about the shadorma and for sharing your lovely example. I’m going to play with this form in my notebook soon. Also, I had to laugh at your ending line as my post today involves my dedication to staying in my PJs ALL DAY! lol

Your opening line “leaning in” sets the mood perfectly. Your last line made me smile. It’s a great twist. I am inspired to try my hand at a shadorma.

Kim, I love your celebration of those friends in real life and writing circles that enrich your life. Your opening line of “leaning in” in order to capture every word, phrase ad expression really sets the mood here. I celebrate you as well.
