Rumination (Ghazal)

[DavidMc]

Rumination.

A necklace of blinking city light at sunset,
Adorns the inky throat of night at sunset.

Below Impostors ram the golden gate,
For who can muster strength to fight at sunset?

Deeper grows the dimming life of day,
As I await the vampires bite at sunset.

Deep musing on slow creeping hours,
doubt topples down the stairs tonight at sunset.

For I shall not concede to mortal fear,
But be so shielded by Gods might at sunset.

Far from the countries yawning cry to rest,
Streets packed dancing with delight at sunset.

zephyl rests his tired bones upon his bed,
To welcome angels robed in white at sunset.

interesting form, this ghazal

I tried writing one awhile back, but I think I had a mistaken idea of the rhyme scheme, and I attempted to rhyme where only a repetition was required

oy, what a headache I gave myself

Beautifully well crafted and ruminated offering, David.

I havn't tried writing a ghazal, yet...So, I know what you mean, Glenn...Just looking
at the rules to do classic poetry, gives me a headache. But, I do so love reading ghazals,
sonnets, etc...When the ginning and spinning of them is done right and yet with flow and passion, not lost in the crafting...

I've read the formulations thread a few times...Get intimidated and back out of there...LOL
I do good to follow the rules, to form a simple haiku...

Hope to see this area fill up with more Davidic ghazalian poetry, as well as other
classically inclined pieces, by all poets that dare to do such...I'm not worthy...*t-he*...
Just waiting to read some more...Nir.

Bump worthy.

[anirbas]

Still one of my favorite ghazals. If I may so say, considering I do live with the writer. LoL
