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.

Far Away

You whispered softly that you’d always stay,

But then you left and slowly moved away.


The nights we shared now feel like a dream,

Fading like whispers carried far away.


We held each other under stars so bright,

Now those same stars seem so far away.


In every crowd, I still hear your voice,

Calling my name, but it’s too far away.


I loved you deeply, more than I could say,

Now I’m left longing for you, far away.
