Cicatrices=the scars of healed wounds.
Spooning=when a couple lie down front to back, fitting together like spoons.
Ghazal=a form of poetry about unrequited love written, spoken, and sung from Turkey and Persia to Pakistan and India.
Poets write ghazals in no less than five and no more than fifteen couplets.
They introduce the theme in the first couplet with an end rhyme (radif) on both lines that is repeated without change on the second line of the following couplets.
A changing rhyme (qaafiyaa) may precede the end rhyme. I'll try that on my next ghazal.
The poet includes his or her pen name (takhallus) in the final couplet.
I thank Indian-born and raised FanStorian Ameen786 for recommending that I read popular Persian/Urdu poets like Mirza Ghailb and Faiz Ahmed Faiz whose ghazals inspired mine.
Thank you for your review.
