gurunAthan Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 She never turns up!gurunAthan ramaNi(English Ghazal: iambic hexameter couplets) The sun goes down, the sky is blue — she ne'er turns up; The waves are red, even the air has hue — she ne'er turns up. The crowd is thin, I spot a couple 'hind the boat The boat and the net are decked with dew — she ne'er turns up. The lighthouse, lean and tall, its beacon yet to shine The ships are far between and few — she ne'er turns up. The broken moon is dim, the stars are yet to shine, I walk in sand, without a clue — she ne'er turns up. The waves adorn the sandy shore with froth and blob The time is up and overdue — she ne'er turns up. The couple 'hind the boat at some distance stood up And there she is! so that's the cue — she ne'er turns up. ★★★★★ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyv Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 gurunAthan, Been there, done that. I'd be all set with that "relationship." I wouldn't let on that I know -- I'd play along for a bit -- and it would be, "Adios!" before she knew what hit her. Best of luck to her!
