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.
Dead
I can be driving to work or walking the dog
And that song will stop me dead
Flashbacks of a summer love, lost
Your smile, our dreams, dead
And it for a moment the regret overwhelms
I can barely think, breathe, inside I’m dead
And I hope you’re happy since I couldn’t make you that way
Took your heart and mangled it, wrangled it dead
Didn’t love myself enough to love you
I hope she loves you until you’re both dead
