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! 🙂
harvest ode
mirror mirror in the sky
truth’s reflection burning bright
stars align, emotions swell
some find comfort, others, hell
ours is not to run and hide
mirror mirror in the sky
call forth authenticity
shed the dross to set us free
mend our cold uncaring hearts
light our path when days grow dark
mirror mirror in the sky
tame our tongues when curses fly
heal our broken disconnects
all’s not lost; oh no, not yet
there’s still time to set things right
mirror mirror in the sky

dark blue night
frosted tendrils
softly fall to earth
full moon dusking
airy light

planets
in retrograde
pale full moon lunacy
seaside tides; gray matter swelling
bonkers

Only a fool would
laugh at her words.
She, who was born
ferocious and wild
will devour you with
her soft lips, her
haunting voice lingering
like strong perfume.
