Notes About The Poem

Jueju

 

Jueju poems are always quatrains; or, more specifically, a matched pair of couplets, with each line consisting of five or seven syllables. The five-syllable form is called wujue; and the seven-syllable form qijue.

A Splash of Color

A robin serenades Spring extolling the life She’ll bring. Flaunting breasts of crimson red, a sign of what lies ahead. Spring’s sweet songbirds now on track, bring a splash of color back. Red-breasted Robin’s show first; ahead, warm rains quench earth's thirst. (Jueju-Qijue) Mar. 10, 2019 Jueju-Qijue With A Twist Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Charles Messina
