Cherita - OctPoWriMo Day 3

Today's challenge was to try a new form, the Cherita. I've never heard of it before and will have to do some research to see if I was successful! I chose the word prompt "From the shadows." (Cheritas don't have titles, but if they did, I would call this Coyote Dreams.)

He waits, belly grounded.

She doesn’t forget - head count,

final lockdown, as sun says goodnight.

She knows he waits in the dark of shadows

for the night she comes after God hangs the moon -

won’t serve her hens up on a careless platter.

Penny on the lookout for danger
