Ghazal

A ghazal is an Arabic poetic form including five to fifteen couplets of the same length. The first two lines and second line of every couplet must end in the same word and in the second line of every couplet, the word before the repeating word rhymes. The structure, theme, and emotion are typically autonomous. The final couplet includes the author’s signature, commonly their name.

I’m a little scared now

You said it would all be alright

Ghazal
A color photograph of an uprooted tree by the ocean. The sky is grey, and the tree's tangled roots serve as a perch to three teenagers of darker complexion. The ocean's waters are churned into gentle waves, reflecting the clouded sky in a slate-colored hue.

Trusting

You fractured my rose-colored lenses

Ghazal
It is a color photograph of a riverbank. There are swans and ducks swimming through the river towards the camera. There are weeping willow trees along the bank of the river, and the branches are hanging over the water, almost touching the swans' heads. The swans are in the shade, but further back in the photograph, there is a sunny patch of water with no trees to shield from the sunlight. It is peaceful.
