Here I Come to Save the Day
Coke Zero,
You are my hero,
here to save
this damsel
from distress, disorder, and
dozing. Praise the Lord!
(A shadorma is a six line poem with a syllable count of 3/5/3/3/7/5, respectively. As a diabetic, at my doctor’s orders, I have essentially sworn off drinking anything other than plain water or unsweetened tea, as even artificial sweeteners are a problem healthwise. However, with this being my fifth consecutive Poetry Marathon, I know full well there is absolutely ZERO CHANCE of me surviving the next 24 hours without some caffeine flooding my veins. Yeah, it’s gonna be one of THOSE kinda days!)
Thank you for introducing me to this poetry form!
I am also diabetic and it is so hard to deal with what we can’t do. Congratulations for focusing on a day of what you CAN do. I loved the whimsy and playfulness of your poem.
