google says a choka is a dish.
So, now I have to ask you what you are talking about.
In Japanese poetry, the longest poetry form is "choka," which consists of alternating lines of 5 and 7 syllables, and can continue for many stanzas.
There’s no strict upper limit, but traditionally, they can reach over 100 lines.
This is my first choka attempt. The Japanese gave us so much good stuff -
Shibari and kinbaku (my fav) to name two
Jasmine tea wafts slow,
Soft notes dancing in the air,
Petals whisper sweet,
Warm steam curls around my heart,
A calming, fragrant embrace.
Moonlight spills like silk,
In the quiet of the night,
Thoughts drift and entwine,
Each sip a gentle caress,
Lingering whispers of bliss.
Sip by delicate sip,
Memories steeped in warmth's glow,
Laughter fills the room,
With jasmine's sweet, soothing scent,
Time slows in this precious space.
