POEM STARTER
Write a ghazal about someone you miss.
Ghazals are an ancient Arabic poetic form that consists of a minimum of five couplets, with each line of the couplet ending with the same word. They are usually about the beauty of love in spite of sadness.
The Twins
I miss you both everyday;
I think about you everyday.
I’ve watched you grow from afar,
You both grew little by little everyday.
I know that you are better with them,
I remember changing your diapers everyday.
I wasn’t the brother I should of been,
when we meet again - I will tell you that I love you everyday.
Until that day comes, I will pray.
I’ll pray that one day I will see your faces everyday.
There was a plan in place for us to separate.
One day we will stand together - everyday.
Deeply sad to hear this… 🥺
I’m sorry for what you went through dealing with the system. I’m sorry that you were separated from your siblings, this is beautiful work. I can’t wait for your book, seriously. Before learning you were a plumber, I thought you wrote for a living, it’s just that good.
