Along those roads … a Joseph Star – August 23, 2015

Posted on August 23, 2015 by Georgia

gone …
once again
but should you worry
those roads are like a siren
they are always tempting me
come away with us
once again
… gone

This post has been scheduled since I’m away … sorry it went up so late Paloma but know I wrote this on the 19th.

For : B&P’s Shadorma and Beyond – August 14, 2015 – Joseph’s Star

The Joseph’s Star was created by Christina R. Jussaume. It is a non-rhyming 8-line poem with a syllable count of 1/3/5/7/7/5/3/1. Each stanza is center-aligned so that the finished poem is diamond-shaped.

      It does become a little disorientating, doesn’t it. I’m off again for a long weekend with my son … probably the last outing for a while. But then I thought Sluderno was the last one!

    Yes, you’re just so good at getting all the syllables an stuff right whereas I struggle so much, well you saw my first shadorma I got everything mixed up in the end. I applaud you for your discipline and your ability to write any kind of poetry very well because I can’t do much else than free verse

      My dearest … forms are a pain at times and I do get mixed up myself … especially with the more complicated ones! Still you write beautifully and I wouldn’t flog myself for a bit of “variety”! Nice to see you participate.
