Cherita
“Cherita” is a Malay word for "story,” hence the golden
rule about a cherita is that it tells a story, usually untitled.
Cheritas are a stanza-based form containing three
stanzas.
1 line stanza
2 line stanza
3 line stanza
The lines can be any length the poet chooses.
Today’s theme: The Taste of Metal
The flavor of platinum lingers
Cradled by my tongue
In remembrance
Of your vibrant laugh now silent
Of your skin encircled
By this ring, this testament to our love
