Bastet’s Photo Shadorma – August 9, 2014

Hello World!

I’m running late this morning so let’s get right down to work!

Jen from Blog it or Lose it!  Sent me a photo which I think will really inspire you all today to write an interesting shadorma:

For you first timers,  a shadorma is composed of six non-rhyming lines (sestina or sextet) and the syllable pattern is 3-5-3-3-7-5.  It can have as many stanzas as you like, just as long as each stanza follows the syllable pattern mentioned above .  You have a week to create you poems so be patient and let the photo inspire you!  Or use your own photograph or art work.

Once you’ve written your post tag:  Shadorma and Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie, then put your info onto the Mr. Linky app!  If you ping me back, I’ll be able to read your post asap because I will be notified that you’ve written the post (not so with Mr. Linky)…That’s all there is to it!

Thanks for dropping by … Ciao, Georgia

      • It was gorgeous — but it made getting a good photo tricky. Had to trash a bunch of photos — weird glares, weird backlighting, weird bleached areas — but I finally got this one. Phew! Was doing it surreptitiously too which made the whole thing trickier.

      • Lol glass is a pain to photograph, I know only too well as hubby does all his artwork on sheets of glass … drives me mad when I have to do a service on his work! Doing it surrepititiously too … wow, lucky to have gotten anything!

      • I don’t think she would have said anything because she’s used to seeing me – I get my gargoyles there! It’s sort of like the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm for gargoyles. And I bought a gargoyle after taking the photos. So …..

        Glad you find glass tricky too. I was going insane with it!

      • Are you kidding … glass is one of the hardest things to try to photograph … reflections are terrible and they pick up shadows that only a camera can see, I guess we compensate. Next time just ask her to be able to take the photos … people love the idea that their stuff will eventually find its way on a blog.

      • I will probably do that. So far people have been pretty good about photos — the drive-in people were overjoyed. 🙂

        It was interesting … looking at the “finished” photo of the glass globes … so many reflections and shadows I hadn’t noticed. Somewhere between the eye and the brain we get a much different image!

      • I’ve always found that people are like that … they feel thrilled that you find their place interesting enough to want ot photograph it … and if you tell them you blog, the gush with pleasure.

        Yes, that’s the strange thing about glass … we just kind of blot out the excess or something.
