I hope you enjoyed my first Triple Shadorma poem that was inspired by encountering this little leaf.
I dedicate this poem to all the elderly people who are now in nursing homes or care centers living out their lives perhaps in loneliness, hopelessness, or feeling no one cares. This little leaf I saw today reminded me of them.
This leaf reminded me to stop in the middle of my busy life to think of ways to reach out and care for others.
I am glad I am a part of a ministry (Expressions of Miriam Ministries) that volunteers to go into these homes to visit with the people there and perhaps uplift and encourage them in some way by bringing the joy of life and the love of God into their waning lives.
Very emotive and powerful Leona!
I’ve never heard of a Shadorma poem, so thank you for introducing it. I wouldn’t mind having a go at one on my challenge Pixel Prose 🙂 ❤
Thanks Amanda! Shadorma is one of my favorite poetic forms. It is a six lines–syllables on each line are: 3-5-3-3-7-5. I have written quite a few Shadorma poems but this was my first Triple Shadorma! I just had too much to say to limit it to six lines! LOL 🙂 Thanks for visiting and commenting.
