CATTAILS - April 2017

Lavana Kray ne trimite:

blooming trees — 
repainting my birth date 
on the gravestone

xxx

pomi înfloriți -
retușez data nașterii
pe cripta mea

Romania freezing cold - 

I close all windows 

on my desktop 

frigul iernii – 

închid toate ferestrele 

de pe desktop

Atlas Poetica 27, Cherita poems

Lavana Kray ne-a trimis:


Cherita combine the demands of flash fiction to tell a story with the tanka demand for lyricism. The cherita (chair-ee-tah) was  invented by ai li.

A cherita consists of a one-line stanza, followed by a two-line stanza, and then finishing with a three-line stanza. It can either be written solo or by up to three partners.


 1

migration - 

the scud of birds

before the wind

amid a swirl of leaves

I do my plans to leave home

as I did every year

2

broken hourglass -

the humming table fan
spreads units of time

and I pretend

I meet you right now

falling in love again

3

soft light -

a butterfly shaking off

old spider webs

in the painting class

where the students focus

on a nude
