In a departure from the usual poet laureate poem as prompt, I am inviting you to consider the ghazal (guzzle) as it has been haunting me of late. I have provided three links to example of modern ghazals and would add that the most recent issue of Rattle also celebrates the ghazal. Take a dive into the readings and veer to the place that has the most energy for you. No one is taking names or posting grades–this is an exploration! Thanks for your courage, and have some fun! 🙂
