It's Raining Poems for Poetry Month!
April is poetry month and I've been writing a poem every day as part of a poetry challenge. Yesterday it was suggested that we write a cherita. A cherita is a three stanza poem that tells a story: first stanza, one line/second stanza, two/third stanza three. Wasn't sure what I'd write about until a small intruder shaped my morning. For obvious reasons, his picture is not posted here. Instead enjoy the sunflowers.
Toothbrush in one hand. Toothpaste in the other.
A squiggle. A scream (ashamed to say, but yes, a scream)
A stinkbug tossed and drowned in steamy hot water and lavender soap.
An over reaction, I agree, but who did he think he was,
this lazy, little stinkbug lying feet up on my toothbrush bristles
like a carefree tourist some fancy uptown spa?
