I wrote a cherita for FOWC: Hinder, MVB: Melancholy, and MLMM’s Sunday Confessionals. It’s not about a yearning from that long ago, not specifically, but on a deeper level I guess it is about the longing for hope and being deeply loved.
Your melancholy nature does not hinder you from laughing, From leaning over wheezing from so much merriment; and My melancholy nature does not hinder me from finding So much hope in the mere presence of such a man -- When Our eyes meet it is as two hearts are beating in unison; come, Help me find the words to songs heretofore unsung.

Lovely poem.
Though I have written haiku, senryu, and tanka poems, the cherita is a new one on me. I’ll have to explore it.
