twigs
gingerly
conjured into a
cradle for three miracles
a quaint summer home
now vacant
yours

winter trees –
filled with autumn fruit
for no one

Linked to BJ’s Shadorma and Beyond at MindLoveMisery’s Menagerie.  The first poem is a Joseph’s Star; the form was created by Christina R. Jussaume. It is a non-rhyming 8-line poem with a syllable count of 1/3/5/7/7/5/3/1.  Each stanza is center-aligned so that the finished poem is diamond-shaped.

I was going to make the second poem a shadorma – but at 3/5/3 it felt finished.  To make it a shadorma it would have needed to be 3/5/3/3/7/5.
