Lab Rat Cherita

I am a lab rat, an ‘esc’ key click away from madness,

trapped inside a three–walled cubicle…three? Cubed?
forced to stare at an LED screen…read, respond, delete, repeat,

while typing onto a carpal tunnel-mitigating, wrist-supported keyboard
for hours and hours and hours and overtime, darkness to darkness,
the edge of lunacy teetering on a swiveling, ergonomic chair on wheels.

Another Cherita…As I may have mentioned…work this week is a BEAR! 🙂


Belated Monday Magnets


there are times when
only a good hot cup
of chocolate will do
velvety, dark, steamy…
it’s like liquid healing
warming me from the
inside out

Magnetic Poetry Online. A bit silly today. Work has been a bear!


Shy Blush – A Haiku

it’s not modesty
flushing my face deep crimson,
it is passion’s rage

For Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge, Prompt words: shy (modest) & blush (flush).


Stink Bug Cherita

wintering in rouge chiffon

a Stink Bug, Halyomorpha Halys,
Brown Marmorated, unwelcome interloper

no amount of silken adornment
can disguise who and what you are…
a repugnant, reeking vermin disturbing my peace…lily

Iced – A Cherita

beneath the cloud-shrouded moon

she’s wearing diamonds tonight
in stillness but for droplets drizzling

every bough alive, bedazzled
in fluorescent-kissed ambiance
winter tree aching for the sun
