Lonely Crow

Lonely Crow… Where is the place to find it all? The crow is cawing far, far. Where should I go to hear the call? The crow is cawing far, far. We’re in prison all our lives, half in bandage and half in strifes. We need a place without the wall; the crow is cawing far, far. Listen to him when he speaks; where is the sign that we all seek, The big or small and short or tall, the crow is cawing far, far. You go to the garden and ask around, you will hear his name, profound; he reaches to all big and small; the crow is cawing far, far. I tried to hide and be unseen, live my life as a teen, fourteen. Where should I go, not bend or crawl? The crow is cawing far, far. My body is my cage and stage; boiling I am, filled with rage. I don't want to be slave and thrall; the crow is cawing far, far. I asked the crow what was divine. Where can I go to drink his wine? Learning to read his holy scrawl, the crow is cawing far, far. Let “Haloo” break his cage and fly, fly into the clouds and die, escape from this orbiting ball; the crow is cawing far, far. 7/30/16 Haloo

The Ghazal is such a musical poetic form. I will have to try this, one day. I like this your Lonely Crow, Pashang. :-)

I am reminded somewhat of Edgar's Raven, and the looming death on the horizon ... despite our brief glimpses into the truth, there remains that crow, still cawing, cawing. My favorite section of this ghazal was your last four lines, where you allude to life and freedom arising out of death. Eerie poem, but with a lot of truth embedded.

I like many below am not familiar with this form. But I must say this is what I call poetry. The repeated lines give the poem more depth. I can't get the line" The crow is cawing far,far" out of my head.Excellent job. A without a doubt seven:-) Alexis PS. Thanks for visiting my page. You are welcome anytime.

I'm not familiar with this form, but I like it, the repetitive line is really good... That crow... where can I find him? I'm looking for some wine, and I have some questions....

My dear Rebecca, it is ghazal... come to me for the wine, for the crow, I'll tell him to find you.

May evil never come near you. You bring the ghazal to life. Thank you for your visits to my work. I've been....inactive of late. I've been a little down. I'm trying to get back to writing. Hope it works. :)
