Poem:
On the side She explains their rules Formal dress Ladies first Put down checks in front of men Never fraternize Six a.m. I smile at Adam Fake a grin My boss says Iโm lucky to serve rich men I should be grateful Iโm grateful For Mister Burton He holds me By the hand Excessive gratuity Slips in my pockets Iโm thankful For my coworker Tying strings Round my waist To help secure my apron While I wash my hands Glad I met Mister Jacobson Tips me well Just to talk Try hard not to fall in love Because heโs married After brunch We box up desserts Apricot Petit fours Not supposed to sample but We canโt help ourselves On the side I smile at Adam He holds me Round my waist Try hard not to fall in love We canโt help ourselves

This is fabulous!! Bravo to Sylvia and to you for sharing, David.
๐ Colleen ๐ ~ isn’t she great? I’m going to try one myself sometime soon!
Sylvia’s poetry is excellent. I like her contemporary take on life.
Lovely. (K)
๐ Kerfe ๐ ~ totally
This is adorably fun Sylvia! I love it and great job on the form. This is too funny as my daughter is an 8th grade science teacher. When she is not teaching, sheโs bartending a couple nights a week. (teachers need to supplement their income). PLUS, it pays well and this is all so true. Watching her in action is surreal and itโs just as you describes it. Sometimes my blood boils, sometimes i giggle. The tips she gets are enormous. Last night she was on a โproper dateโ with an โAdamโ. They meant on hinge but when they started talking he said, โโ you know who this is right?โ Turns out they went to grammar and high school together. I canโt wait to hear all. โค๏ธ๐

Sylvia does the Shadorma proud! So much in so few syllables!
๐ Muri ๐ ~ I agree!
So the form is called crown shadorma because of the extra six-line stanza?
Wow, a mesmerizing stroll into the world of gastronomie.
With the image catapulting us into that world
Each stanza gives one a clear picture of the daily run of the mill
Capturing the essence and spice of the day with their unique shades and nuances .
To remain evenly tempered through the course of the day is pure loveliness – the romances are lovely to read.
it’s modeled after a crown cinquain, in which the final stanza is comprised of lines from each of the previous stanzas – it’s Sylvia’s own concept!
Oh !! Oh that is beautiful
I did not pick it up in the final stanza
Pure loveliness the way she threaded those lines in the end.
yeah, I am jealous that she came up with the idea before me! ๐
Haha, oh really
Jealousy makes you affectionately nasty ๐
You couldn’t help but go out and canvas her creativity and mastery. ๐
aww. gave my heart some flutters.
