My second attempt at writing a Cherita poem was inspired by the theme Cave, set by Poet-of-the-Week Nolcha Fox for this week’s W3 Poetry Prompt #194.

The Cherita (a Malay word meaning tale or story) is a six-line poem:
a single opening line begins the story,
a two-line stanza builds the middle,
and a final three-line stanza brings it to a close.

I hope you enjoy my short story — I certainly enjoyed writing it.

My thanks to Nolcha for introducing me to the Cherita poetry form.
My thanks, as always, to David, The Skeptics Kaddish, for his constant poetic motivation and encouragement.
And my whole hearted thanks to you, the reader, for spending time with my poem.
