Love As Vast

November 30, 2017 alongtheintersticePoetry, Shadorma November, ShaNov

love as vast
as the flood waters
that surround
the stranded
who signal with waving arms
to those far away

Well here we are at the end of ShaNov. For me it’s been an intriguing challenge (I don’t know what it means that my mind keeps sliding to flood waters as if appearing again and again in a dream). I hope the other awesome fellows who participated have enjoyed their time and effort. I put out there that I will be taking a Shadorma break in December, but that starting in January I might begin Shadorma Sunday. Now I give you the awesome fellows who participated:

A Prayer Like Gravity

Wonderful ending to the month, Eliot, and thank you for hosting. Ben nudged me to join in, and although it was a challenge at times, I’m glad I did. It’s good to learn new things, so thanks again.

  thank you and it was my pleasure. i found a challenge at times as well; there is a difference between posting every day and needing to post everyday, confronting the form when the energy just isn’t there. Thanks again for your participation.

    I think you nailed it…wanting to post everyday and needing to post are completely different. I can’t always write on command; inspiration is necessary, so there were days that I really had to dig. I may try it again in January though because I do like the form. Have a good weekend!

      Thanks. Hope to see you join in January, which will be only a looking for the muse on a weekly timeline rather than daily.

Love this one ED. Huge rains forecast over the weekend here so it is quite apt in more ways than just the weather. I’ll see how Jan is looking- might give your shadorma sunday a look in 🙂

  Thanks. The rains here have been pretty consistent. Danger of landslides (there’s a metaphor in that). It’d be great if you join in the Shadorma Sunday (aka ShaSun).

    I’m glad. I chose a poet who I admire very much. It was easy to slip into the style and the symbolism.
