Here are eleven days' worth of poems in The Stafford Challenge. Each daily comment below was written on each given day. As the days developed, as you will see below, I began to write a series of shadormas on Andy Warhol. In fact, all the poems in this post are shadormas, a form I've grown to love writing. All of these are also ekphrastic On Day 105, 1 May 2025, I'm at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, today and tomorrow. I thought I'd write another poem about the Ear of Corn water tower they have here. This is a shadorma — a Spanish form with syllabics 3/5/3/3/7/5.
