humility (senyru + cherita)

CARPE DIEM HAIKU KAI, cherita, Senryû, Tournesol dans un jardin 1 Minute

(senryu)

wrapped
in naked humbleness
confesses her sins

(A Cherita)

making the sign of the cross

she leaves the confessional head down,
hands clasped together in prayer

kneeling before the Virgin Mary
giving thanks for  absolution of her sins
shivering at her nakedness, she prays

A little bit about moi: I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator. I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors. Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka. I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other. http://stigmahursteveryone.wordpress.com

    1. Yes I thought I had discovered it through Celestine recently but realize Georgia introduced us to this 2 years ago at MindLoveMisverysMenagerie as I found some I had written in 2015. It is a nice form,like a haiku and brief haibun (if I may compare) telling a story.
