Shadorma<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Sometimes when you want to write a poem, it helps to use a poetic form. The Shadorma is a six-line poem with a certain number of syllables on each line: 3\/5\/3\/3\/7\/5. It\u2019s said to have originated in Spain. It can be written about any subject, does not need to rhyme, and you can connect many together to write a longer poem.<\/p>\n

Here are two samples I wrote:<\/p>\n

1
\nDr. King
\nused non-violence
\nto show us
\nanother
\nway. He had a dream of peace
\nwe still want today.<\/p>\n

2
\nAcceptance
\nof changing feelings
\ndoes not come
\neasily
\nfor me. I feel the loss of
\neverything that\u2019s past.<\/p>\n

Now it’s your turn!<\/p>\n

Set the timer for 7 minutes.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Start writing!
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t think about it too much; just do it. <\/strong><\/h3>\n
