Notes About The Poem

3/15/2026 for 2026-03-15 Write A Beautiful Shadorma Poetry Contest Sponsored by Constance La France

 

I Believe in Scarecrow Reincarnation

“As long as Autumn lasts, I shall not have hands, canvas and colors enough to paint the beautiful things I see” ~ Vincent Van Gogh

Summer's end 
fall harvest in store
ripened gourds
rising hopes
and who’s this to cheer my day?
a friendly scarecrow

Final Days
Autumn’s sad demise
withered vines
chilly air
you look threadbare, far away,
my tired, straw-filled friend

Deep Winter
a blanket of snow
covers all
I once knew
where are you?  oh my, you have
become a snowman

Thanks, glad you like them, and my picture of a split personality scarecrow/snowman. I like drawing pictures for my poems, if it's something that seems easy.

I don't remember what a shadorma's form/point is but I was sucked in the second I read the title. I really enjoyed it. I'm inviting you over for dinner, you'll see, nice and hot meal will take the chill off so come on by my page, dine with me. I want to check out if this is for a contest so maybe I will shadorma challenge myself.

You can use this as an example of how not to do a shadorma. :-)) Coming over!
