Untouchable Dreams ~ #Shadorma

Posted byHome Study from the Grateful HeartPosted inFrom the HeartTags:, ,

This week for #TankaTuesday, Colleen has challenged us to write a syllabic poem using synonyms only for the words hope and eager. This is my attempt at a shadorma using the words dream and zealous.

Untouchable Dreams

Zealous love
Fills the beating heart
With courage
To pursue
Once thought untouchable dreams
Now seen within reach

SHADORMA: The Shadorma is a poetic form consisting of a six-line stanza (or sestet). Each stanza has a syllable count of three syllables in the first line, five syllables in the second line, three syllables in the third and fourth lines, seven syllables in the fifth line, and five syllables in the sixth line (3/5/3/3/7/5) for a total of 26 syllables with no set rhyme scheme. It is a syllabic poem with a meter of 3/5/3/3/7/5.
