Today’s Shot 180

Sanctuary

Gliding on still waters, the dip of the oars push me forward into turtle’s murky sanctuary. Am I still in the water, or am I rowing out into the clouds…

Shardorma

A shardorma is a simple syllabic poetry form which consists of six lines following a syllable pattern of 3–5–3–3–5–7. The six lines can be a complete poem or they can be strung together as stanzas to form a long poem.


Kayaking

Sky’s looking-glass shifts

The oar dips

Dips again

Turtles go splashing

A living dream on water

        A beautiful photograph and shandorma Beth and I love the way earth and sky meet in the water – this image alone can carry us into a peaceful meditation 💙 Thank you so much for this beautiful contribution to the challenge! 💜

    That’s excellent. I’d not heard of a shandorma before. I’ll have to give it a try. 🙂

    That’s one form that I haven’t try. Seems contrived most times I come across them, but this creation is wonderfully crafted. Perhaps …
