Not Junk To Me

Buried in a great big trunk are things that some might call junk Sweet cards from old friends and beaus, decades-old knick-knacks and prose. “Unclutter your life,” some say. “Throw what you don’t use away.” I say to them, “Let me be. My keepsakes aren’t junk to me.” *This is jeuju poetry. Here is Soup's basic definition of the form: A Jueju is a type of poem from China that consists of a matched pair of couplets. Each line has either five syllables or seven syllables, so I followed the model given at Soup and then I wrote two Jeuju that go together.
