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.

Still Miss Me

My shoulders sag wearily

Realizing what I miss is me


Life’s weight squeezes me empty Leaving a depressed version of me


Grasping, gasping trying to break free

Struggling to find time to be me


Handfuls of stories, all key

To filling a cup full of me


hard won lessons from the journey

Realizing what I still miss is me
