Morning Snow – A Cherita

snowy morning

crystalline frosted clusters
floating down, down, down

tree limbs drooping
hush a-bye green
winter lingering

~kat~

Time for another Cherita…it’s snowing on my little speck of earth this morning.


Matrix Cherita

the matrix is real

chem trail grids etched
across the cerulean dome

people numbed by tweets,
and alternative bleats, slog
single file into oblivion

Cherita Day 3


A Ground Hog Day Cherita

punxsutawneyPhil

a rascally rodent is he…

hailing from Punxsutawney
this marmot known as Phil,

he bends light and shadows
and dares to presume whether
winter’s days are numbered

Another Cherita in honor of Groundhog Day!


Blue Moon

pie-faced moon

blushed rouge, earth shadowed
and blue sometimes, oh so blue

luminous
chasing stars away
owning the night

A Cherita (a linked poetry form of one-, two-, and three-line stanzas. Cherita is the Malay word for “story” or “tale”. Read more about the Cherita HERE.) My friend Jane Dougherty gave this form a whirl today and I thought I’d give it a spin too.  Thanks Jane for introducing me to the Cherita! 🙂
