Flambe
being as ghazals have been on the menu of late...
Like the fire she burns
Leaving embers behind
Like the fire she burns
Labouring sparks in minds
Like the fire she burns
Leaving hearts a flutter
Like the fire she burns
Lamenting lips stutter
Like the fire she burns
Lest cold souls forget
Like the fire she burns
Lovers past ne’er regret

Hi Alan. Really liked this, It has lots of elements of the persian ghazal like the 5 syllables per line. The rhyme and repetition of refrain but it is not quite in the right format. If you want to know more I have provided a template and some simplified rules in the discussions area here - http://www.writeoutloud.net/public/newsgroupview.php?NewsThreadsID=1127
still an interesting piece, ghazal or not. Thanks also for tagging it, readers can now look at all the ghazals of all different styles (inc yours) all in one place. Win x
