Only three days left! Let's push to the summit.
For today's prompt, write a shadorma. For those new to the shadorma, it's a fun little 6-line poem that follows this syllable count: 3/5/3/3/7/5.
Here's my attempt at a shadorma:
"mornings after"
maybe she
won't need him again
maybe she
knows that he
is just a phantom haunting
her empty spaces

Writing poetry is exciting, but the hard work of poeming is working through the revision process. The best way to work through this process is to workshop the poems with other poets, and that can be done with the Writer's Digest 6-week course, Advanced Poetry Writing.

Quick note on commenting: Please always save a copy on your computer. There have been moments in the past in which comments have disappeared, and I don't want anyone to lose their work. Heck, I've lost some of my work here in the past, and it's not a great feeling. That said, commenting here is a lot of fun, especially in April. If you're completely new to the site, you'll be asked to register (don't worry, it's free), and your comments might not appear initially until I manually accept them. However, after that initial phase, your comments should appear without my help.
