Violent Vortex (Shanzi).

Mighty Typhoon
Such turbulent storm

The incessant winds
so powerful

No correct path
Force of Nature
Destruction always

Shanzi:

The Shanzi is a fascinating and flexible new form. In December 2005 Andreas Gripp, a Canadian poet living in London, Ontario announced his newly created form.

The Shanzi is written in 7 lines with breaks of 2, 2 and 3. The poem contains 31 syllables arranged in this manner: 4-5, 5-4, 4-4-5.

The first 2 lines introduce the image/subject; the next 2 lines amplify what is affected by the image/subject; the last 3 lines focus on a new image/subject that complement and provide a meditative conclusion. Shan-zi may be titled.

Note: This is my Shanzi form contest poem submitted elsewhere.
