Poetic forms are many today, like the ghazal
Many poets I know, they say they like the ghazal
I too tried many times to write one,
They never come out close, nay, not like a ghazal
Other poets write them easily, I see:
My friend Jeet can write and recite from memory, on the mic, a gazill-
-ion of them before breakfast, the swine,
Me, I am still struggling to write a wee tyke of a ghazal
I tried writing them sitting down, standing up,
lying down, walking, even on my bike. No ghazal.
My words leap, bound, run, sprint, jink,
Like they're running from a sher, and like I'm a gazelle.
So we wind up seeking solace in wine;
Zig, he much prefers *hic* to have a guzzle.

Running from a "sher"? Or a "shayar"?
