A Shadorma:
A non-rhyming six-line
poem
of 3/5/3/3/7/5
syllables
Childhood
thrills
Big
crowds, animals
Better
than
YouTube
screen
Tensed
trapeze funny clowns all
unforgettables
A Naani:
There are 4 lines for a
total of 20-25 syllables
Brought
back memories 5
Circus
in town though no Big Top 8
But
the spectacle was 'live' 8
The
roar was real 4
For BJ's Shadorma and
Beyond at
write on a shadorma or a
naani
(Hank chosen to write both)
A fun time can be had indeed, with the good ones
ReplyDeleteYou really can't experience that on YouTube...
ReplyDeleteNothing like a good carnival
ReplyDeleteI remember the carnivals from my youth but don't think I ever got to go to a circus. Very nice, Hank
ReplyDeleteThe circus, carnivals were part of my youth that I will always remember
ReplyDeleteI think the very first carnivals are always the best because you just are so enthralled by the magic at every turn. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteboth good, but think I like the naani more, seemed more cohesive to me. and 'real', yes, much better than youtube.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love this, Hank! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat memories -- and a great feel to both of these. Well done :)
That's the sort of fun I like and also the memories.
ReplyDeleteMuch enjoyable Hank.
Loved both the pieces, and yes true that real roar sounds better than any youtube video roar :)
ReplyDeleteThese are simply lovely Hank! Thanks for your participation! Bastet.
