B&P’s Shadorma & Beyond – The Twenty-Eight – November 21, 2015

Greetings from Paloma!

For this week we will look at the shadorma once again (a non-rhyming form in 3/5/3/3/7/5  syllables) and the Twenty Eight, created by J. Lapis of Dark Light Harbor.

‍

The Twenty Eight

Form

Four lines with seven syllables each;
end-rhyme the first and fourth line (optional).

Alternate Form

Seven lines with four syllables each

‌

Here is the Twenty Eight J. Lapis wrote for Dark Light Harbor.  Visit her post to see the original image that inspired the poem:

Copper’d flames fast-burnt, fallen;
Leaf carpet, ember’d pathway
‘Neath November’s pewter rain…
Swift fiery season ashen.

Today’s inspiration comes from Muscleheaded Blog, where Maxfield Parrish was shared this week.
