I have drunk
Deep into the glass
Of my life.
The last dregs
Still remain to reflect on
This is my first attempt at a Spanish poetry form called Shadorma (Syllable structure structure: 3/5/3/3/7/5)
To learn more about Shadorma and to check out other people's attempt do visit One Stop Poetry. The image is from Magpie Tales Mag 61 weekly picture meme.

I hope you spent them wisely.
That's a lovely take on the prompt. Loved it. :)
don't reflect too deeply, have another glass and pick up your pen and write another lovely poem
I liked that, very succinct and poignant.
Thanks for visiting me yesterday.
Thanks a lot, Martin, priya and jessica. Glad you like it.
Thanks for your comments, Isabel. Too serious poem, eh? This was what came to my mind the moment I saw the picture.
This one hit me sqare between the eyes ... at that point in my life with much to reflect on. Nicely done!
Nice one, and I must say great minds think alike :o)
Thanks, Helen. Glad my poem found reasonance with you.
Thanks, Mary. More at your blog.
What a clever poem about how we reminisce more as we grow older. Well done.
Thanks, Doctor FTSE.
Wow! So much said in so few words! Love it!
Anna :o]
i got a few i wonder where they went...
Thanks Anna and Brian.
Sad to think we have nothing left in the end but dregs. I wasn't familiar with Shadoma. Thanks for introducing me to it. I may try my own hand at it.
I like this. Metaphorical reflections in a glass of wine, nice. :-)
Thanks, Stand and Paul.
How well your Shadorma fitted the Magpie! :)
wow..
lovely.
Drink ye well of this glass. It holds much in its vibrancy and wisdom.
Thanks a lot, Trellissimo, Bluebell Books and Reflections.
Hmm.. very wise, TF :) but it sort of reminded me of Trelawney reading tea leaves :) nice form, I'll try it out soon!
btw, could u plz make your comment form as popup? the embedded one makes it difficult to comment sometimes :)
Thanks, Vinay. Ha, Trelawney? I was thinking where I had heard the name. Then it clicked. Its been years since I read Harry Potter. Do try this form. I though embedded comments are more friendly for smart phones and office browsers. is that not so? Ayways let me change it and see if it increases comment flow.
dregs seem so sad, but I suppose very true, emotional poem.
Solid, thoughtful read. Good stuff!
Thanks 120 Scoks and Steve.
Very thought provoking take on the prompt. Like it.
