Cheryl, I like how this feels like a warm snapshot of a lifetime—“seventy years later, forever friends” is just beautiful. ~David LikeLike
A sweet story of friendship; and yes, you got it right this time (I didn’t see the first attempt). It really has no rules except the 1/2/3 lines (or reverse) and to tell a story. LikeLike
Almost! Line 1 should be one line–you got that! Next stanza should be two lines Third stanza should be three lines I like the idea that they are still friends since they were very young. You can do it! Maybe add a bit of imagery if you want. LikeLike
Hi Cheryl, thank you for writing to the prompt, but you didn’t follow the form. The cherita form is 1 line, then 2 lines, then three lines (or the opposite order). LikeLiked by 1 person
