Natasha L Scragg Poet Shadorma

When A Beloveds Chapter Ends

[Contest: 2026-03-15 Write A Beautiful Shadorma. (Sponsor) Constance La France]

Mourning time.
Grief lets itself in.
Needed? Yes.
Welcomed? No.
It initiates closure.
A beloveds life ends.

Confusion.
Doubts. Questions. What now?
Regrets. Fears.
Silent dread
Of judgement from those without
The complete picture.

Memories
Comfort and soothe me,
The joy they
Brought to life.
Their qualities shining bright
Lighting paths ahead.

Paula Goldsmith March 16, 2026 at 2:25 PM I enjoyed reading your wonderful yet sad "When A Beloveds Chapter Ends" write. "Good Luck" I did, "The Beauty Of The Earth." Have a wonderful day/week writing away............ Natasha L Scragg March 16, 2026 at 3:40 PM Thank you Paula. I know it doesn't fit the category of beauty. But it was more for the try of the Shadorma form as I'd never even heard of it before. I must explore the list of forms and challenge my self to have a go a different types from time to time :) all the best xx
