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.
© J Lapis, 2015
Today’s inspiration comes from Muscleheaded Blog, where Maxfield Parrish was shared this week.
When you have written your poem(s), please TAG them B&P’s Shadorma & Beyond and MindLoveMisery’s Menagerie. Then add your link to the Mister Linky widget below.
Have Fun!
Paloma
Great post Paloma … I like how you’ve introduced other bloggers as well as a new form … great job!
Thanks so much!
Welcome!
Thank you so much for featuring me/the “28”, alongside the Shadorma–which I love. And I really like the dragon image!
Thanks for inventing and sharing it 🙂
Glad you liked the dragon… that is my favorite too. Don’t believe I’ve seen it before.
Is it also a Parrish work? I didn’t want to assume, just because the others were 🙂
Yes, it’s Parrish too … it has similarities … and yet it is so different too. 🙂
Yes, really different in a lovely way!

Relatively new here and wasn’t sure if I should use the picture? I’ve never written a Shadorma until today. Thank you so much for a great challenge!
Hello there 🙂
Yes, you can use any of the pictures here that inspire you. Or you may use your own – the choice is yours.
Glad you like the challenge – good to see you here 🙂
Thanks. Have a great weekend!
You too 🙂
