Nesting

The horrid hollowness of the empty nest, viewed without a redress, empty nest. Years of doting, uplifting, caring bring forth a man of kindness, empty nest. The sun which rose with his laughter sets with a mother’s loneliness, empty nest. Let my heart sing with each memory of cuddled child breathless, empty nest. Remembering you, longing for your smile, brings meaning home, fullness to empty nest.

This is a difficukt form! I went way back to find this beauty...just doing some research for your contest. Most of the poems I found in the best ghazal category do not follow the form.
