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.
Siran’s Memories
Hydrus’s face, gone**_
_**His entire race, gone
His kingdom’s he once tried to keep safe, gone
His husband with good tastes, gone
The simple joys he once embraced, **_gone
_**
To them him alive, he must survive
To keep away the lies, he must survive
To preserve their fights, he must survive
For them to be remembered, he must survive
To do anything worth while in this life, he must survive.
But why?
Is it so hard to keep his promise, but why
Is it so hard to be honest, but why
Is the memories so painful, but why
Is life so painful, but why**_
Can’t he just let go..
_**( Did I do it right? )
