Jueju-Qijue
Jueju poems are always quatrains, or, more specifically, a matched pair of couplets (AABB), with each line consisting of five or seven syllables. The five-syllable form is called wujue, and the seven-syllable form qijue.
Jaded edges of despair
fowl your mood and taint the air.
For bleeding out shades of grey,
shadows wash color away.
Snagged on barbs of darkness,
smiles camouflage life's starkness.
And yet, such sadness and tears
offer no refuge from fears.
A cloak of best intentions
oft staves off interventions.
And not readily noticed,
depression lurks unnoticed.
So, if you feel you're alone,
step outside your comfort zone.
Allow God into your heart;
let faith fuel a new start.
