a cloud of blossoms
a gentle flurry – homage
to last hurrah

A Complex Legacy

This rise of incivility, hate mongering, and inhumane acts have settled in. It’s sowing itself into our fabric. I worry it’s a stain not easily removed.

a complex legacy

inhumane circumstances
normalized for too long

cotton fields
bloom with the DNA
of my ancestors

After the Rain -Cherita

after the rain

a flurry of tweets
outside my window

a cardinal
and a pair of sparrows
came calling

Hints of Summer -A Cherita

clear spring night

cherry blossoms
painted with moonlight

rain clouds
have gone their way-
hints of summer

A Cherita – Living Mirror

living mirror

a small life preserver
keeps me accountable

a gentle reminder
of that little thing
called consequences

Snow Storm – A Cherita

footprints in the snow

trails lead to water’s edge
all drawn to tumbling, bubbling melody

on the banks of the creek
remnants of a snow storm..
encrusted in ice

For Carpe Diem Haiku : A Cherita

Poem

a scene evokes a thought –

a kernel of a poem

pausing to jot something down –

shadow of a poem

enduring odd stares as I come back –

caught in the moment

grabbing a poem by the tail before it dissipates –

the birth of a poem
