Balloons-Love is in the air -Poem Eight
Struck love for each other
Besotted to be together
A woman struck by the love of another
A woman who took her life for her lover
A man from Verona in love with a woman
Ended his life not to live without her
Dagger in the heart another in haste
Sorrow to grief the loss of his taste
A decision of sleeping potion after a dream
Suicide her life with the dagger in her dream

Ghazal poem originated in Arabic while dealing with loss and Romance
5 stanzas each stanza two lines each couplet to stand alone every line the same length.
I loved Romeo and Juliet so your poem was a treat to read Sabinah! “Balloons- Love Is In The Air” is an ironic and very cool choice for a title I love the contrasting tones. Beautiful summary. Two lines really stood out and resonated with me…Dagger in the heart another in haste…Sorrow to grief the loss of his taste…” Beautiful imagery!
Thank you Ingrid for your comments it means a lot to me 🌹
Romeo and Juliet <3 We were discussing R&J in our poetry group recently. Loved the ghazal form and, as Ingrid puts it, the irony of the title.
Thank you so much Vidja for stopping by and comments on my poem 🌹😎
A poem that encapsulates the many angles to this phenomenon we call love.
Great!
Thank you so much Solape for your comments once again 🌹😎
Sabinah this poem is very evocative, conjuring the pain of lost love or unrequited love, of lovers choosing to sooth away their pain with death.
All of your poems are so good. I feel ill equipped to critique them.
Just beautiful
