Ghazal
A poetic form consisting of couplets which share a rhyme and a refrain. The couplets have lines of 10 syllables (Including the refrain). The refrain can be a word or a phrase. There is internal rhyming in line 1 and 2, and line 2 of each couplet with the refrain. Each couplet should be able to stand alone. There is no limit to the number of couplets in a Ghazal. However a min. of five stanzas is requires.
The sunshine feels fine on a warm spring day
and the blues abate on a warm spring day.
March snowflakes morph into April showers
and hopes slowly climb on a warm spring day.
A virtuoso songbird's tweets are oft-heard
chirping for a mate on a warm spring day.
And yellow daffodils sprout from the ground
at a frantic rate, on a warm spring day.
Nesting birds take turns sitting on their brood
incubating eggs on a warm spring day.
Butterflies emerge from their chrysalis
to air out their wings on a warm spring day.
Dandelion seeds rigged to parachutes
quickly germinate on a warm spring day.
And the crack of a bat hitting a ball
rings out from home-plate, on a warm spring day.
(Ghazal)
