POEM STARTER
Compose a ghazal about a love that transcends decades, weathering all life's trials.
A ghazal is an Arabic poem that consists of a minimum of five couplets, with the second line of each couplet always ending with the same word. They are usually about the beauty of love in spite of difficulty.

As they stood under the glowing evening sky
She promised sheād love him all the way until they made it through
As the sharp frost left behind red cheeks and glassy eyes
She promised sheād hold his hand all the way until they made it through
As the flowers in their backyard started to lose their petals
She promised sheād wipe his tears all the way until they made it through
As their large crowd slowly started to thin
She promised sheād be his sidekick all the way until they made it through
As time became an endless swirl, leaving her behind
He held on to every promise, hoping that she had found her way throughš¼
Sincerely,

Okay, not my best eork. This has been sitting in my drafts forever and I forgot about it, but I just rediscovered it today, so I wanted to share this with yāall. I honestly donāt really know what Iām saying here, but Iām on spring break, and it doesnāt feel like spring because itās freezing outside, so writing this kind of gave me warmth, which is what Iām looking for :)
I hope it gives you warmth too!āļøš¤ļø
