Cast a glance
at the mystic sky,
serene clouds meditating
across the expansive horizon
illuminating a pristine white aura!
Know Sidlak:
Sidlak poetry (sid/lak) is a structured poetry consisting of 5 lines with 3-5-7-9 syllables AND A COLOR. The last line must be a COLOR that describes the whole poem or the feelings of the writer.
Beautiful! ☺️

White encompasses all colours, similarly this poem encompasses the various moods. Beautifully written, Mam. And I’m happy that I learnt a new form of poetry.One doubt, is there any restriction of the syllables in the last line?

Thanks Aishwarya! I too learnt this form of poetry from another fellow blogger. No there is no restriction on the number of syllables in the last line. Just include the colour and the essence of the poem in it.

Sidlak Poetry is a new form I have heard.
I think Radhika it would have been better if you could have given more details about it.
But you have done justice and have written a beautiful Sidlak. 👌👍👏

Not many people seem to be aware of it I guess. I too learnt this form only after I started blogging from another co blogger. It is not as popular as haikus and tankas.

Beautiful lines. This is a new form for me. I have never tried my hand at haikus or tankas either. It really needs skill to express yourself in a few lines and with restrictions of syllables.

Lucky you, you have wisps of clouds making their way to grow and then burst to shower their blessings on the lush land below.
