Charles Messina Poet Jueju

Notes About The Poem

Example for my "Jueju-Qijue with a twist" poetry contest

Pen Your Voice

Voices from a poets pen 
Soft ones, loud ones...now and then 
Speak your tongue, let it be told 
Let us hear your heart unfold 

Pen on paper how you feel 
Then show us all...poet's zeal 
Told in tone...to tell apart 
Unfold your voice, in your heart

Anisha Dutta March 9, 2019 at 9:44 AM I think, last line showing 8 syllables. i am confused. Charles Messina March 9, 2019 at 10:09 AM OMG, Anisha...you were right. I'm surprised no one else picked up on that. Good catch. I revised it. Thank you for pointing that out.
