A Cherita

Two cats
Lie on the heating
That lovely place, at the window
This time of the year I cherish
Being inside writing
It is winter
It is winter
Being inside writing
This time of the year I cherish
That lovely place, at the window
Lie on the heating
Two cats

Today we are writing mirrored Cherita with Laura at dVerse.
„Form: the Cherita is a consecutive poetry form in three stanzas: a single line; a couplet; a tercet [Rules are that it can be written solo or by up to three partners as well as being reversed in various combinations (called a cherita terbalik )]“
PS: We do indeed have two such lovely cats at home and if I manage to catch them together on the heating I might replace the AI image above with a real photo one day.

Cats know how to make the most of any heat available. (K)
Yes, I wonder if they can actually see part of the infra-red spectrum, meaning if they can see the warm places and not only feel them.
Their senses are definitely sharper than ours.
Oh those cats are just beautiful. I envy you your winter…time to sit be warm and write, such bliss. A lovely Cherita!
Yes, indeed and one of our cats also likes to come sit on the lap and particularly on blankets no matter if someone is under or not. That is always great company reaing a book etc.
how sweet and a lovely compact storyline – the pairing with the reverse is ideally more a reflection of/ reference to rather than an exact mirroring though it works well here – especially if the last line is paragraphed
Thanks Laura,
Indeed I might have missed that clue in your instruction, the barred „mirrored“. As it came quite naturally like this to me I felt this was within the spirit of the exercise.
Glad you like it.
indeed – others too took the mirroring literally but yours shows how much even that works!
Love the mirrorred poem about the 2 cats by the window. I too enjoy the writing activity during this season.
Thank you. Yes, it’s just the perfect season for writing.
Lovely image… the full mirror works so fine (I think there might be a paragraph missing for the last one-line stanza)
Thanks, Björn.
And thanks for the tip, was indeed struggling with the layout this time. Fixed it now (again 😉).
