Jan Allison Poet Jueju

Notes About The Poem

Seasons

Winter. Expect snow and ice
Children think snow’s very nice
Hear them giggle with delight
When they have a snowball fight

Spring. We’ll see pretty flowers
Nesting birds, April showers
When small fledglings take to wing
I can hear the bluebells ring

Summer. Time for holidays
When we bask in sunshine’s rays
Many want a deep suntan
It’s too hot I’d need a fan!

Autumn. Leaves are tumbling down
Trees lose their glorious gown 
Finest season of them all
No surprise it’s known as fall.

Reason A. Poteet May 23, 2023 at 12:16 PM A great write here on Seasons and I give you a 10/10. Excellent rhyme and rhythm. I am lost as to how to distinquish a jueju-qijue from a quatrain with 7 syllable lines. Regardless of the form, I enjoyed your entry very much. Congrats on your placement.
