waiting, tense
still perched on the wall
gray, ready
dove watches
ready…gray…waiting…tense…perched
in her own shadow

Snow....boy am I glad I decided to take a fresh look at your work. Finding this form alone made it worthwhile.

Every group has its assets....some, like you, are hidden treasures.

Oh, and here are the instructions our lady of the ice gave:

"this is called a Shadorma, it's a Spanish form.
6 lines with a syllable count of 3/5/3/3/7/5, if
anyone is interested in trying it."

You're a treasure yourself, yanno. *G* And this is absolutely beautiful!!!

Being the wordy type, I think I'd rather read them than try to write them... but I hope you both continue! *S*

I have always been a fan of Snow's work and this form is one of those reasons Ed. Thank you for gifting us with another poet who does this form extremely well and I hope we see more of these from you!

I really want to care,
I want to feel something,
let me dig a little deeper
nah, still nothing~
my give a DAMN is busted. Jodee
