Darkness sheds

its shadow tonight,

light ignites

blinding thought.

Epiphany consumes me

as genius takes flight.


Author's Notes/Comments: 

Shadorma


The Shadorma is a Spanish form, of six unrhymed lines.
However, it is a syllabic poem, so there is a strict number of syllables per line.


The line/syllable pattern is as follows:


3 - 5 - 3 - 3 - 7 - 5


There is no rhyme requirement...
but there's nothing to say you cannot use rhyme.
