It's Still Life

A Cherita Poem Form: Cut Flowers

Cut like angel wings

a handful of flowers
in a jam jar

tumbling
as if from an arbour,
perfumed and unbridled.

Written for Paul’s Wombwell Rainbow #poeticFormsChallenge . A cherita poem consists of a single stanza of a one-line verse, followed by a two-line verse, and then finishing with a three-line verse. It can be written solo or with up to three partners. Some artwork is created using Midjourney AI, and is identified as such in the ALT text. Imagery and poems ©Misky 2023.

Process notes: I enjoyed writing within this form. I try to write everyday, so this one is good for days when the brain needs to down shift gears.
