This is a style I have not previously encountered but I can see from your poem just how effective it can be.
I like the spirituality you exude with your chosen topic and the way the three separate elements inter-relate with each other.
Well done.
:-) Shirley

This is an interesting item in regard to the form. Who was the creator of the
form and is it always supposed to be a particular subject matter or a certain
spiritual theme? Is there a place to read these kind of poems by the creator of the form?

Thank you for your generous review. I appreciate your time to read and review, as well as your thoughtful comments. I copied the notes on the form from another writer on the site. The creator was an li, and I imagine if you google her/him you could find poems written by her. The poem can be about any subject, and in my research, I've seen different rhyme schemes, or NO rhyme, and even rhyming optional,

An interesting form and one which I'm not acquainted with, which is a good thing because it is always nice to learn new forms. Your spiritual Cherita was a testament to your faith and your love of Christ. nice!

Beautiful presentation, from beginning to end and for many of us, we do find... Christ does give our life strength and at times...especially being a mother and wife, it can be filled with a life of happiness, instead of strife, if Christ is there with each step.

Thanks for the Inspiring message that I think for some of us is a truly Welcomed read...Caressa_08

Hi,
Good first try at a Cherita! I think in the first line, I'd try to pare it down a bit. For some reason, I feel that with the very short forms you want every word to count (it's hard)
"with each step, he's by my side".

Otherwise, very nicely done. The instructions I found for the form were that it should be non-rhyming. Wonder why the difference? I looked it up on Poetry Magnum Opus online.

I'm so glad you joined in with this form, I really like it :))
Carol

I have never heard of a Cherita before, so this was very interesting for me to read. I really like your version of it and hope to possibly read more of this interesting topic from you in the future.

This is only the second one of these I have ever seen and the first did not mention the rhyming or metrical requirements. This one however has followed all the requirements you mention. It is a good form for making succinct comments.

Thank you so much for stopping by to read and review. This form seems simple, but it was complicated to narrow my comments into the constrictions of the form. In fact, I messed up the rhyming scheme, but when I get done, I just couldn't change it - it felt like it was inspired when I finally wrote it out.

Hope I made sense to you
