Today at Rajani’s we are re-visiting the Cherita, a six line story-poem form invented by Ai-Li.

on gossamer harps
you shall be my song  

while  I softly strum you
my fire
my muse

August rains

strong winds
droning and so cold 

but I hear music too
a soft tempo
of the breeze

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.

Adagio

once upon a time

I twirled in your arms
in heels 

all night long
to the sound of rain
and the adagio
