Photo taken today during my walk in the park.
So here’s my first Cherita. Or set of Cherita.
1
sunset
putting on a show
in autumn skies
looks like
the gods
are at play
2
late evening
flock of birds
sway across the sun
they move
to the song
in my head
3
romance
we have been done
and undone
it’s time
to let memories rein,
it’s time

So I’m hearing, thank you. It’s funny, because they are all together because I couldn’t choose : ) ….By the way, spoke to an Agronomist about that weird flower and he supported the sprouting theory as well.

Still, that’s pretty weird. I’ll bet there’s a seed to a story there. 😉

Love this form – it calls me! I did a strange thing with the reading, here, Pat; I read the 3 first lines (sunset/evening/romance) and then the second lines… It holds together so well that it works in every direction. Excellent write & excellent photo; the sky does put on a show for us, doesn’t it?

Love the birds flying to a song in your head. I often wonder if the song was there and the birds came by or if the birds birthed the song and gave it to you. Nice!

Hi Sarah, I like the way you’re thinking about this. In answer to your wonder, the song was there first ☺☺, and then they appeared. And the song was ‘Sway’ by Frank Sinatra. That’s how the word sway ended up in the poem. Thank you so much for reading and for your thoughtful comments ☺☺
