The Cherita was created by al li. Iāve fallen in love with this lovely poetry form. And for each working day I shall endeavour to post a cherita a day on my blog. š

burning with words

to set the words
ablaze!

Done for Carpe Diem. Modern Times Haiku (Following the Summer footprints of Margaret Chula)
his early heat
a carp arches
into the raindrops
Ā© Margaret Chula
My haiku in the same spirit and tone as Margaret Chula’s above:
Heat
noonday heat
a lizard basks
in yesterday’s raindrops

Done for Carpe Diem.Ā
Ā Nap
midday nap
a bouquet of beads
her only cover

thatched eaves
her only cover
for a midday nap

Done for Carpe Diem Haiku Shuukan. And also for Recuerda Mi Corazon.Ā
The emphasis is on A in G R A C E (enlarge your capacity of compassion) as defined by Joan Halifax, a Zen Buddhist, with greater emphasis on āAttaining to Self Other.ā Much similar to the Christian JOY, acronym for Jesus first, Others next, Yourself at last.
Raindrops
Ā first raindrops
this month of May
scorched earth cools
2
raindrops
just a drop
basil blooms
3
cheerless morn
even the birds
chirp in praises
