• Any number of stanzas, just like the Shadorma;
• At least one stanza must rearrange the order of the classic Shadorma’s syllabic lines;
  • (e.g., 5/3/7/3/5/3 or 3/3/3/7/5/5, 7/3/3/5/3/5, etc., etc.);
• No two stanzas of the Dormasha can have the same syllabic line structure.

Losing Faith

(5/3/3/7/5/3  3/3/7/5/3/5   3/7/5/3/5/3 7/5/3/5/3/3)

Out of the darkness
A call comes
Telephone
I am okay and not hurt
The car is totaled
I’m fine

Is this real?
Was that true?
Did the telephone just ring?
Do not be alarmed
She is fine
No reason to cry

Be thankful
A life was not taken here
You can rest easy
She is safe
Reliving horror
Thanking God

Is there really a God here?
Why does this happen?
So unfair
So hard to believe
In a faith
After this
