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.

A Little Ghazal

I still feel your presence, in thoughts and dreams

You're gone, yet you live in my awake dreams


I still look back and wonder if it was right

But the things you told me just didn't feel right


Who were you becoming and why the hatred?

I didn't recognise you, there was too much hatred.


Scared and confused, I had to let you go

No room for me in the direction you wanted to go


It was such a long time ago but I am still sad

I miss you every day, part of me is always sad.
