Pin Dew Poet Ghazal

When I'M No More

A play ends just, a wretched play, that I’m no more.
And you yourself, with vex, dismay, that I’m no more?

Bleeding grass, burning air, woods ashen, and you weeping,
It’s a bit too convenient, nay, that I’m no more?

The letter with the rhymeless elegy-- it’s soaked,
I hardly muse now, what you’ll say, that I’m no more!

Stranded and shifting, quite like light on water, Dew,
Reflection mine, why do you stay, when I’m no more?

-Pin Dew (02/05/2017)

Note: Experimental Ghazal- The lines are in Iambic Hexameter. Usually, English Ghazals follow Syllabic Prosody, but here I am using Accentual-Syllabic Prosody.

Pashang Salehi May 26, 2017 at 8:28 PM Hi Pin, your ghazal is beautiful and correct. You need to add one more couplet to have the minimum number of couplets for a ghazal which is 5 couplets....Pashang Pin Dew July 3, 2017 at 1:08 AM Yes, I'll try :) Thank you..
