draining

such a waste-
concrete emotions
ended, as
evident
from the past, as a result of
tragic illusion

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Shadorma:
line one has three syllable
line two has five syllables
line three has three syllables
line four has three syllables
line five has seven syllables
line six has five syllables

I guess the result of tragic illusion is nothing to the wrath of a woman scorned...

Ramesh Sood said...

One realises that illusion is tragic only after reality expresses itself..and often years pass through..

Thanks Gautami for visiting my page.. it is emboldening,,

This is a wonderful Shadorma poem. I've seen a few this week and tried my own today too.
Very very well written.

Sad unrequited love is always a poignant read. This is a really beautiful piece.

Well done...I will agree with others by saying I, too, liked how you used the three words...and in such a compact piece. Yay for you!!! :)

Ah, I get now what a a shadorma poem is, the amounts of syllables. It has a really natural flow.

I once had concrete emotions, a passing thing in my early 20s, everthing felt "flattened" for a while, if you get what I mean. But by mid-20s all was smooth sailing, and has remained so -- must've been finding true love at last.
