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) 04/11/2020

So far no bats hitting balls this spring, but hopefully very soon. I love "Dandelion seeds rigged to parachutes". You have such a unique and delightful way of describing nature, Emile. Congrats on your #1 ~ John
