UNCOMMON POETIC FORMS — SHADORMA
Food Fight Gone Wrong
A coup in the cafeteria

During lunch,
A food fight broke out.
Tarts and pies,
launched by some.
Canons fired, in swift response,
melons hurled, lives lost.
This poem is an example of a Shadorma, a form of Spanish origin written as a six-line of 3–5–3–3–7–5 syllable lines respectively.
A poem may consist of one stanza, or an unlimited number of stanzas.
Written in response to the Literary impulse prompt ‘uncommon-poetic-forms’ by Somsubhra Banerjee.
This form was quite fun to write! A different extension of a Haiku that fit into what was floating in my head.
I invite Krystal Mossbarger, Michael Burg, Miranda Lukeman, Dennett, R. Rangan PhD, William J Spirdione to give it a go.
