The Cherita

Dusk

A young cottontail
Shows his face

Time to explore 
Remembering not to stop
And look at the headlights

Merril is hosting Meet at the Bar at D'Verse and has asked us to share The Cherita.

“Cherita is the Malay word for story or tale. A cherita consists of a single stanza of a one-line verse, followed by a two-line verse, and then finishing with a three-line verse.”

The order may also be inverted or turned upside-down: 3-2-1.

A cherita is always untitled and without rhyme.

I have been writing poetry since I was a child and it has helped in the good times and bad times. I am always looking within to find the answers to life's problems and to write thought-provoking poetry and prose. Thanks for checking it out. Christine
