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.
Sea
I know the sound this wave will make
as it holds you to the sea
I hear the cries of seals and gulls
as they call you from the sea
I know the boat will not ashore
it will keep you on the sea
I hear the masts, like clanking bells
above the swirling sea
I know you will now not return
You’re set upon the sea.
