Note on Cherita form from Co-Pilot

Here’s a quick and practical guide to writing Cherita poems:

What is a Cherita?
• A six-line poem invented by poet Ai Li in 1997.
• Structure:
o Stanza 1: One line
o Stanza 2: Two lines
o Stanza 3: Three lines
• It tells a short story or evokes a vivid moment, often lyrical and meditative.

Cherita Structure
1. Line 1: Sets the scene or introduces the subject.
2. Lines 2–3: Develop the image or emotion.
3. Lines 4–6: Expand into a narrative or reflection.
________________________________________
Key Features
• Free verse: No strict rhyme or meter.
• Imagery: Use sensory details (sight, sound, touch).
• Tone: Can be romantic, spiritual, nostalgic, or contemplative.
• Economy of words: Each line should feel essential.
________________________________________
Tips for Writing Cherita
• Start with a strong opening line: Something that sparks curiosity or emotion.
• Use natural language: Avoid forced rhyme; let the story flow.
• Focus on a single moment or feeling: Cherita is about simplicity and depth.
• Show, don’t tell: Use concrete images rather than abstract statements.
• Keep it balanced: Lines should be short and rhythmic (4–8 syllables works well).

Example Cherita (Theme: Self-Acceptance)
One line: You are enough
Two lines: Born of starlight / shaped by love
Three lines: Dance through the quiet / let rivers sing / and skies embrace you
