A Shadorma
a shadorma is composed of six non-rhyming
lines and the syllable pattern is 3-5-3-3-7-5

unwanted
being discarded
you feel too?
Yes I do
why must they do this to us?
why invent cell phones!

A Limerick
Rhyme structure is AABBA (lines 1,2 and 5
rhyme, and 3 & 4 rhyme with each other)

I’m feeling bored and I feel so lonely
I only have you all day for company
No queuing  over us
We are now useless
I miss hearing all those juicy stories

For Georgia's hosting at Mindlovemisery Menagerie
where the picture prompt above is provided and we
are challenged to write a shadorma and a limerick
