Fifty Fifty

I asked my heart
Do you love her?
He says love, help, and save her.
My mind wonders!
After all that!!
All that were fifty-fifty 
My heart replied.

I love this poem, Abdullah. I love your gracious reply to Pashang. I am not a conformist at heart, so when I first started experimenting w/the different forms, I caught some criticism. But that did not deter me from being my own poet. Whoever first invented any poetic form, they were not considered traditionalist. No doubt were heaped scorn. So nothing changes, really, does it. Great cultural translation of "ghazal." As always, your knowledge is appreciated. Love always. RW
