leaf-laden
heavy canopies
shadow the sky
we follow
our meandering footpath
one final tryst
Isaac Levitan
Today we are trying our hands with the Cherita again at dVerse hosted By Merill. The cherita should tell a story, be imagist and should have one, two and three lines. (or the other way around).

Björn Rudbergs writings 
I love that your cherita starts with an alliterative compound word, Björn, and the heavy canopies above the meandering footpath. Did you mean one final thrust?
I meant tryst…. now corrected
I also the alliteration and the imagery of the heavy canopy. Kim wondered if you meant thrust, and I wondered if you meant tryst. I imagine secret lovers.
Of course tryst…
That sounded like you. 😊
So sweet, and I just ‘knew’ you meant tryst .. or at least I hoped. LOL
tryst is of course correct
What can I say? Beautiful writing as always.
I had to look up (Cherita) and find out what it means. I am now a fan of the concept. The imagery of the footpath and meandering. Dude, I miss your work so much. 🙂
A very short and brief poem… still telling a story
I might try this out myself one day. I’ll see what I can tell within a short story.
Check it out… it’s fun…
Thank you, Bjorn. 🙂
luv the free easy flow of thought in your cherita
Bravo!!!
much♡love
I love the format of the verses across the page, like following the footpath for the one final tryst.
Bjorn, I love the shelter of hushed forest. Perfect place for a final tryst (as long as you make sure no poison ivy around.)
There is just a little sadness in the end: a final rendezvous, a final meeting at the end of a secret path. One is forced to ask, what caused this ending? A very nice poem. Thank you for posting it.
Oooh, this is good!
Lovely opening and creation of setting.
I really like this form, as much as a haiku, with the opportunity for the setting of a story to the descriptive scene…something magnetic about it…the key is simplicity, and not overreach, as here.
I see you are still wandering through the forest from the last prompt..Hard to leave behind!
I love both verse and the shape of your words. I find myself walking along.
I love the walk through the canopy. ☺️
Beautiful, Bjorn.
I like the shadows of the leaf canopy. A forest adventure.
Lovely! Very atmospheric, and I like that hint of the romantic.
Beautiful Björn – captures the forest perfectly 💕
“heavy canopies shadow the sky”
Beautiful line, Bjorn.
Björn, “one final tryst” feels like such a tender close — I can almost feel the hush beneath those heavy canopies.

I like this. It’s mysterious and secretive 💚
