I'm still not back in gear. I've been trying to get my desk cleared today so I can get down to some serious work.So while I was cleaning I saw a note about the SHADORMA, a six line poems, that may have originated in Spain. This is a syllabic form with three syllables in the first line
five in the second, then three, three, seven syllables in the fifth line, and ending with five syllables in the last line.
Or, 1= XXX
2= XXXXX
3= XXX
4= XXX
5= XXXXXXX
6= XXXXX
Our New Year
for 2-0-1-4
happiness
poetry
with peace and blessings to you.
May this be your year.
Your challenge for today is to try writing your own Shadorma. Have fun writing.

Happy New Year
Happy 2-0-1-4
may this be the year
you have time
to write more.
May your poems
be delightful
and full of fun.
May the words
seem to roll
right off of your tongue.
May you fill
the world with happiness
in all that you do.
May this be
a prosperous year
for me and for you.
I hope you are having a great beginning to the new year. Are you writing resolutions? I've been thinking about a few but I haven't gotten around to writing them down. Your challenge for today is to write one resolution of something you'd like to do this year. Have a thinking day. Enjoy.

MY TELEPHONE
My telephone
is really scared,
afraid he'll make
a mistake.
He hates to text
or make a sound,
all he does is
S H A K E.
Happy Saturday. I started to work on a second verse for this poem, but after I got it written, I felt like it was a bad joke that carries on when the teller doesn't trust that you've gotten the punch line the first time. So, I got rid of that verse and will save it for a second poem. Have you found that you sometimes do that too? You push a poem too hard and carry it on past the point when the poem is done? What do you do when that happens. Lot's of poems I read would be better as two poems.
So here is your task today--write a little poem. Start close. Is there something in your pocket you can write about? Is there something you are wearing? I have a tiny band-aid on my arm from where I got my flu shot. Maybe you can write about a freckle a scar or a mole. Do you have a blister? There are lots of possibilities if you start close. Have a great day writing your poem and if you'd like to share it in the comments, I'd love to read it.
