The Cherita was created by al li. I’ve 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. 🙂

Muse
heat, pulsating heat
this girl is on fire
burning with words
oh for a muse
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

My haiku in the same spirit and tone as Margaret Chula’s above:
Heat
noonday heat
a lizard basks
in yesterday’s raindrops

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.
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 “Attaining to Self Other.” Much similar to the Christian JOY, acronym for Jesus first, Others next, Yourself at last.
Raindrops
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
