the weight of the world
drapes her shoulders
like heavy fog settles in the hollows
just as the mist evaporates at dawn,
she will rise resilient,
forged by fire

The Cherita
A 6 line poem in three separate stanzas, a single line, a couplet, then a tercet.
Each stanza is a complete strophe
The line lengths are at the poets’ discretion
The poem should be presented, centered and untitled.
It should be imagistic and concise.

She will rise resilient
Forged by fire…
What a beautiful reflection, Kat. May we rise, refreshed and renewed 💖
Grief returned yesterday… a gift of flowers from the board and CEO of the company Dad worked for over 40 years… a spirit of thankfulness but also mourning… even as his dementia increased, his spirit was still loving…
