Shadorma  -  a Spanish 6-line
poem of 3/5/3/3/7/5 syllable lines

Acrostic  -  where the first letter of each
line read downwards forms a word

Shadorma
A fighter
Mysteriously garbed
Facing odds
Encountered
But still managed to face up
A fighter no less

Acrostic
Fighting machine
Individual flair enhanced
Gauged on strength of character
Heightened mood
Tendency to extend support
Engaged in siblings rivalry
Right of self defence

    Sorry I'm so late commenting here Hank, this got by me somehow! You are definately a master of words. This take on the shadorma/acrostic was fabulous. Bravo! Bastet.
