I thought I might challenge myself to a new kind of poetry
since April is meant to be a month that’s designed for poetry.

Ghazal is new to me, might cause me more heartbreak than my divorce
syllable counting, rhyme finding, stretching my mind for poetry.

Thankfully I believe in approximation and ish-learning
which, honestly is a good way to be inclined for poetry.

Historically, the ghazal, pronounced guzzle is tragedy
just write for me! Pardon the sarcasm maligned for poetry.

It’s not even close to perfection, with so many liberties
but I’ll take a gold star for my effort enshrined – for poetry.

Happy April! Happy Poetry Month!

I’m looking for poetry challenges. I found a few, like the Ghazal here!
