I’m going to give the Cherita a whirl. It should go like this. I’m not a big fan of centred or fancy layout poetry, but that’s part of the deal with this one. We’ll see if I get along with it.
Wind swings north, wildly;
shutters rattle,
tearing at their catches,
While in the attic,
cats prowl,
oblivious.

Jane Dougherty Writes 
I like it Jane it’s very descriptive 💜
Thanks, Willow. I’ll persevere with this form, I think.
Yes it certainly works 💜
Glad you think so 🙂
🌹
I like this, too, Jane. Sort of a more descriptive, expanded, lyrical haiku. 🙂
I can picture the scene.
I’m glad you like it. I’ll try it again.
Yes, I think this suits you well. It’s a little richer than the haiku; which, giving my undisciplined mind, makes it easier for me to dive into. It will be fun to see where you will take me on this month’s journey.
Thank you, Jerry. The haiku is one of those forms that is great…as far as it goes. I’m not a minimalist and I always feel there’s more to be said. We’ll see how this form works out.
The cats have the right idea.
I like the compression of images. (K)
Thank you. The cats don’t let the elements worry them too much.
Very nice Jane. A new form to learn. Thanks for trailblazing for us!
I hope you’ll give it a try. I’ll see how many more poems I get out of it.
I put together a little one…getting ready to post it. I’ll ping you. 🙂
Like it 🙂
Thanks Jane. 🙂
