One lonely Ghazal

I tried writing this verse, and I was not happy The undertaking cursed, and I was not happy I tried this way and that, nothing seemed to be right I scratched out but 'twas worse, and I was not happy I threw the notebook hard all the way 'cross the yard All became too averse, and I was not happy It became within reach then vanished from my mind This strange Ghazal jumped cursed, and I was not happy Baby sees what is now said upon these blue lines She was rolled in the hearse, and she is not happy My daddy always called me Baby or nearly always..No one else in the family did nor does my husband.. Inspired by the contest: Give Me A Ghazal Sponsor: Timothy Hicks Written: March 12, 2016

How frustrating Sara! I hate it when I think of the perfect line but before I write it down it vanishes like smoke on a windy day.

Congrats on your win, Sarah! Before hosting this contest, I was aware that the ghazal form is not a favorite, and many seem to avoid it, so this tickled my funny bone. Creative switch at the end, changing the refrain slightly. Thanks for the laugh and trying out the form :)

Well, Glad that you enjoyed the laugh..I did and maybe I did not change the refrain for maybe the refrain was just not happy..Thanks for the honor of placing in your contest..Sara
