Joan, glad you enjoyed it. However, do be aware that this poem doesn’t actually meet all the classical requirements of the form. But if you want to read some AMAZING work in the form, search this site for “ghazal” and read the incredible poems Luisa A. Igloria has here at Via Negativa…they are not to be missed.

So many images of such great beauty–I especially like the lines of tossing the sand dollars like alms and finding the stars inside
