Cherita, Christianity, Distress, Ghana, God, supplication

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. 🙂

Please, if you have time do visit the Cherita site, http://www.thecherita.com/flipbook/ to read wonderfully written Cherita, edited by Larry Kimmel. The Flipbook contains 76 new and original cherita by 32 poets from the UK, USA, India, Australia, Ireland, Canada and Ghana. Thank you. 🙂

Distress

in my distress

I seek your face
beyond the blue vastness

a whisper, just a breeze
will do
for this soul on fire

Supplication

in silent despair

their crooked fingers reach out

in supplication

confused at a deaf heaven

casting its fading halo

I appreciate your patience with me as I catch up on your blogs. Thanks a million! Shalom
