Shopping – Shadorma (Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie Prompt) ! Bastet and Sekhmet’s Library
Thank you all for your participation and for linking up!
This week we’re going to look at stairs again … but these are going up!
stairs
When Dante wrote his Divine Comedy, he made Hell, Purgatory and Heaven in different levels or rings. I think, and this is just an I think, that this was because very often in Italy’s cities, the streets are connected from one level to the next by stairs…so what I want you to do is to look at these stairs and try to imagine where they’d take you…in alternative, choose one of your own photos or art work and write about it!
This week’s prompt is stairs …
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!
See you next week and have fun! Bastet!

Great job even the second time around…thanks for adding this lovely metaphor of life’s walk! By the way…I don’t seem to have the first poem here…or were referring to last weeks prompt when you say this is your second attempt? Don’t forget Mr. Linky please.

Hi there! I don’t think my “ping” worked – perhaps I didn’t link properly! Just in case … http://blogitorloseit.com/2014/05/18/grab-the-rails-shadorma/!
Loved the photo Georgia 🙂
I got the notification so it’ll probably pop up…lately I have to personally approve the links on the shadorma post…so will look into it 🙂
Oy. I’m an idiot. Found the Linky. hiding my face in shame!
Don’t worry…I like the pings because that helps me do the round-ups a whole lot quicker…the linky doesn’t. I’ve approved the link so it’s there now 🙂
Woo hoo! Thanks!
Yeah, Linky can be a bit temperamental at times, as can Linkz.
Sure can…but they have their usefulness…
Indeed they do –!
Have a great day – I’m off to get some sleep. 🙂
Nioghty night!
🙂
