Missing Road Signs - #W3 #cherity #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity @YvetteMCalleiro

Hello, beautiful readers! Today was a teacher planning day, so I was able to leave a bit early, which gave me time to dive into poetry. Yay me!

This poem was inspired by Wea've Written Weekly (W3)'s Prompt #194. Nolcha invites us to write a cherita, which is a three-verse poem that tells a story or tale. The traditional cherita has one verse of one line, one verse of two lines, and one verse of three lines. For my fictional poem, I rearranged the order so the verse lines follow a 3-2-1 order.

Missing Road Signs

I jumped in your car without a second thought,

heart racing as we sped down love's highway,

throwing caution to the wind.

I must have missed the yield sign as we sped by

and the warning sign trying to steer me away

from your toxicity and bad driving.

Luckily, the exit sign welcomed me onto a safer, happier road.
