Thank you, Peggy. I have to admit the form is rather addicting. I’m not sure if I mentioned to you that I am scheduled for a book in February that contains only shadorma, which is how I reference both the singular and the plural. No one quite knows the derivation of the word or who invented the form (I learned about it in the mid-2000s). The only requirement is that a stanza being six lines and follow the syllabic pattern.
No, you hadn't mentioned the book. How exciting! I look forward to it.
Thank you. (I owe you a note.) I’ll let you when the date is known. I’ll probably do a cover reveal and a bit of pr once the pub date nears.
What a fun challenge you set for yourself with that shadorma form.

Beautiful. Love this poem.
Kind of you to say so. Thank you, Gina.
Each line is fly-fire along the path.
