Love this, it’s giving ghazal vibes and that’s my favorite form.

Yes! Ghazal is a beautiful style. I'm holding onto this because I like the flow and repeated words.

Thank you so much for reading🙏🏽🤎

This is inspiring me to revisit a poem I wrote years ago where each stanza started and ended with the exact same line in a kind of call and response. It didn’t really work, but I’m going to take another look at it.

Thank you for sharing!

Was this meant to stick in my mind? Now I'll be repeating these catch lines all day until my family has enough!

They might get sick of you and then they'll start repeating it too. Thank you so much for reading😂😂

In the end, we’ll all be sick of each other but enjoy the company of a nice tune!

@Alex B I loved this poem and I love how you're writing and art is an exercise in skill as much as it is an expression of creativity!
