Simple Serenity - #Shadorma #EkphrasticPoetry #poetry #syllabicpoetry #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #writer @YvetteMCalleiro


Hello, beautiful readers! It's time for syllabic poetry with Robbie Cheadle's Spin the Bottle Week 2! This week, Robbie encourages us to write a poem about the Garden Acraea butterfly by using a photo she took during a recent hike. 

She also chose the poetic form called Shadorma, which is a six-line stanza with a syllabic pattern of 3-5-3-3-7-5. Shadormas are always titled.
