Fiery Light: A Shadorma

Written for Melissa’s Fandango Flash Fiction
Challenge using the image below as inspiration.

golden glow
tumbling down the cliff
fiery light
pure and bright
a ribbon of burning sun
fading into dark

silent stone
watching through the night
steep and cold
ancient, bold
water capturing the sun
shining like a torch

Nancy’s Notes: Shadorma is a Spanish poetic form that consists of six-line stanzas, or sestets, with a specific syllable count for each line: 3/5/3/3/7/5.

This is “Gold In The Water” by Allman Brown
