a poem a day for National Poetry Month, and sometimes other months as well, and sometimes more than one poem, and rarely none at all

A quick one

I hear that a shadorma is a six-line poem with this pattern of syllables: 3/5/3/3/7/5.

bucket chair
aimed at the dryer

vertigo
time drags as your garments whirl
seeking perfection
