Shadorma Poetry: Fall Arrives

a river lined with fall colored leaves

Shadorma Poetry

A Shadorma is a six-line poem with a specific syllable pattern: 3-5-3-3-7-5. 

Rhyming is optional. 

The goal is to paint a picture, capture a moment, or suggest something about to happen.

Read my example below, then give it a try. 


Fall Arrives

Fall arrives
Without the fanfare
Brush raked up
Leaves are bagged
The river washes summer
As the water flows
