A Cherita for Day 3 of Micropoetry Month! Cherita is a six line story-poem form invented by Ai Li, broken into three verses of 1, 2 and 3 lines each.
Do share your micropoem (doesn’t have to be a Cherita, doesn’t have to be in any form) in the comments section or using Mister Linky!
transplanting
ankle deep
in a flooded paddy field
she complains-
to the scarecrow
with the broken head
Also pleased to add that three of my poems have been included in the 6th edition of The Cherita (Nov 2017: Volume 2: Somewhere a Carousel – Pages 119, 127 and 143).
Interesting form. I love the poem, that she complains to the broken headed scarecrow.

As others -what an interesting form – and so well executed here – Liked how the story expands beyond the words – complaining to the scarecrow is a great image.

Thanks so much Peter…think the form gives just enough room to be able to add a touch of mystery. Do share a poem with us here if you’d like to.

Sometimes we have to say it aloud, even to a broken headed scarecrow, before we can hear it and find meaning. Congratulations on the publication, and thanks for the support,

The scarecrow looks like he would be in worse pain were he not a scarecrow.
