POEM STARTER
Write a ghazal about someone you miss.
Ghazals are an ancient Arabic poetic form that consists of a minimum of five couplets, with each line of the couplet ending with the same word. They are usually about the beauty of love in spite of sadness.
Love And death
Life does not begin with birth nor end in death
But stretches, if remembered, beyond all death
Love shines, a gemstone in the settings of our heart
The one thing that lasts indefinitely, even after death
Every time we close our eyes, do we leave this plane?
And when we sleep, is it a departure, a tiny death?
Do not remember me for my attributes, not my beauty,
But for my actions, the legacy I leave that lasts after death
For you I will dive to the bottom of the ocean
For you I will brave the cold, dark depths of death
