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).

have a lovely day 🙂

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

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,

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.
