Audrey, I feel like I’m playing Where’s Waldo this morning! I’m staring at this lovely photo — after admiring your pretty Shadorma! — and wondering what I’m supposed to be looking for. Something hidden in this crowd of posies, or am I being too literal again??!
I guess the ONE, Debbie, among all the pretty, there’s one above the rest, and my intention was to show usually she’s not seen, but everyone.
It’s okay…sometimes I’m too…you know. Caught up in my head.
Thanks for trying and you take this poem for what you need it to be. ALL of them. Doesn’t matter what my goal was set out as… Hugs! ♡
I found her
There in shy repose
Aud-acious
Yet naïve
Unaware of her allure
Veiled in beautiful
My very first shadorma. Actually… I’m so poetically ignorant I was unaware of shadormas. You know me… I write and create form and meter to fit my own misguided mind.
Loved the pic… beautiful poetry… even if I didn’t know it was a shadorma.
Hey, guess what? Most of the time, I write for and meter to fit my own misguided mind, as well. We make quite a pair.
However, I must say I do love the concentration and narrow choices when it comes to poetic form, so I lean into it a lot. It actually helps me clear my head of all the unwanted noise and usually negative self talk.
I’m glad you liked this, Michael, and with your gorgeous poetic response I’m blushing a ton. Thank you for seeing me the way you do…you give me much to smile about.
When I commented I read your recent post about exploring Ani DeFranco’s music…I thought you were referring to that post. Sorry…Now I see where I went wrong.
My foolishness. “Explorer” hadn’t been posted when I wrote that comment, further complicated as the following shadorma (12 noon UK time, 16th Nov) is titled “As Jazz Is”.
My wife is away so I can gravitate to my natural irregular rhythms rather than the routine she and her body are more comfortable with. I was wide awake at 3 o’clock and so I got up and adoing. 🙂 OTOH you’re up *late*.
