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.
Gone
It happened too fast, one winter night.
Suddenly you were gone.
None of us even got to say goodbye.
Not before you were gone.
I miss you sometimes, well, more than that.
But my happiness is not gone.
I see you in gardenias. I hear you in the Beatles.
It’s like you aren’t gone.
But I can’t help from wishing. I can’t help the thoughts saying
I wish you weren’t gone.
