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.
