Leara writes and other creative things…
Portfolio including poetry and flash fiction from micro fiction to short stories and a bit of photography thrown in for good measure.
I bit my tongue for so long
It went numb- so
I tried to write it all down
Then I switched to typing
But no matter which method I used
My asthmatic fingers
Couldn’t keep up
With all the time
I’ve been under your thumb
The prompt is “my fingers have asthma” from Maria Giesbrecht @theguelphpoet on Instagram. April 21, National Poetry Month 2022.
Fingers trace
the crescent moon coffee stain
on the otherwise white napkin.
Nothing left
between us now
but donut crumbs.
– This poetry form is called a Cherita.
