My response to Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie B&P’s Shadorma & Beyond – July 16, 2016.
Bastet has asked us to write our reflections about change either by using a Choka (formed by writing any number of 5/7 syllable couplets and ending the poem with an extra seven-syllable line) or a Shadorma (a non-rhyming six-line poem of 3/5/3/3/7/5 syllables) or perhaps a Shadorma variation. We should choose whichever aspect of change interests us at this moment.
Windows are open
To sounds of changing seasons:
The whirr on the breeze
And honk of pink-footed geese;
Whistling of wigeons;
Low murmur of wood piegons;
Chattering magpies,
Haunting sob of curlew cries,
A lapwings’ peewit,
Rattle and rush of a raven’s wings.
Each morning a blackbird sings.

I am thrilled you like it. I worry that my poetry isn’t political or philosophical enough.
