Ghazals are an ancient Persian poetic form, and they are a good way of trying to let go of prose-like sense when writing poems.This is a prompt given by NaPoWriMo and including the A to Z Challenge of letter "S", I am going to try writing a Ghazal for 'S' - Sound of Music.
Sound of Music is a (1959) is a musical film by Richard Rodgers.The story is about a woman leaves an Austrian convent to become a governess to the children of a Naval officer widower.Many songs from the musical have become standards, including the title song "I have confidence", "My Favorite Things", "Climb Ev'ry Mountain" and "Do-Re-Mi".I chose this as my prompt for the above challenges.
How to write a Ghazal :
- Ghazals are composed of couplets – about five to fifteen, so they’re short.
- The first couplet of a ghazal introduces the theme, which traditionally tends toward longing, erotic or otherwise. Both lines of the first couplet end in the same rhyming word or phrase.
- The second line of each succeeding couplet uses that rhyming word or phrase as well.
- Traditionally, you’re supposed to include your name, or a veiled reference to it, in the poem.
SOUND OF MUSIC
Lingering soul, I am between the classics
Drowning inside each and every Sound of Music
Raindrops, pitter -pattering its footprints
Clusters of sound creating a "c-h-o-w" Music
Some days these beats of rain control my tears
Soaking in my sorrow in hers, accompanying Music
Showers of drizzles precipitate, on a sunny day
A dancing Rainbow bending colorfully to the Music
Drop by drop as each pebble touches its skin
The waters in pond spread its wings smiling in Music
Thunders and lighting, the big uncle rain coming
Drums beating ' Sky Orchestra', a big festive Music
Every special occasion are marked by this sound
All festivals and celebrations possess their Music
The sounds of Music “Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti To”
Have their presence in every piece of Music
My Baby laughing, surprised hearing different sounds
That intrigues her mind tickling her sense of Music
I sit here on the window sill admiring every of piece sound
Drowning in dancing the rhythm of this unique "Music"
