full-faced moon, lucent dreams
clouds race on tempest streams

A blustery nor’easter raged into town last night under the light of March’s first Full Worm Moon. The howling noise kept my dogs alert and close by on this sleepless night. This is Day 2 of this challenging poetry form inspired by Jane Dougherty, who I am convinced is a sadist or masochist, or both, for having suggested this two-lined beast. 🙂 Just kidding…all in fun Jane…you know I am always up for a challenge. 🙂
For the Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge: Out of this World. This is a closeup of a moth on the wall in my bedroom. It is the shadow that really creeped me out! Taken with an iPhone.
rain-sopped, soggy grey
frizzled mop, bad hair day

Short Form Florette (two lines of six syllables each, with an end rhyme and an internal rhyme). March’s daily poem style thanks to Jane Dougherty. Don’t let the two line, six syllable form fool you. It is a brutal little mind bender. But oh the satisfaction when you nail it!
heavy with tears
clouds hover
wet and cold
daring us to believe
that sun and blue sky exist
beyond the grey

A final Cherita for this short month and wondering what March will bring. Thanks to Jane Dougherty for introducing me to this lovely little form. And thank you for joining me on the journey. ❤
if only we had
as much enthusiasm
for intelligence
as for beauty and power…
wisdom’s an uncommon thing
