Joyride

Jade plants, carved rocks, herbal greens Leaves grown, earthen kitchen’s sheen Sliced peach sunsets splash laughter White plates glow pink where friends glean (8.18.21) PS - Jueju form is not described accurately in poetry soup's definition. Look up Suzette Richard's poem "Dawn Song" for a far better explanation of this form.
