It's not easy to write a ghazal, I love this and the way the poet brings her name in at the end, so well done!

Ghazals are as enchanting to write as they are to read--like solving a puzzle that doesn't exist yet. They're a favorite among our team. Send us your ghazals!

A couple of amazing abecedarians as well. No clear favorite this time because all are really really good. Haven't gotten to the interview yet, but looking forward.

The abecedarians are truly masterful. So subtle, it's easy to forget that it's a form poem. I hope you enjoyed reading the interview!

What a strong, well-crafted, and creative ghazal! It nods to the traditions of the form without being overly derivative.
