HAY(NA)KU AND SHADORMA

Over at MindsLoveMisery's Menagerie (a title that makes me laugh), Bastet presents the hay(na)ku with a "shadorma "ending. The latter, new to me, is a  3-5-3-3-7-5 syllable poem.  You can go HERE to see this lovely sequence but here's its shadorma ending:

a shadow 
t’was just a shadow 
no, not him 
nor his tears 
just a trick of light and rain 
on my window pane.

Thanks ye lovely Bastet and Menagerie...
