Tried of Rain

(A Ghazal style poem)

 

It decided to rain

Cold crystals upon the skin.

It didn’t let up, but continued to rain,

Creating tiny bubbles on the surface,

A sure sign of the rain.

Shining specks formed from pressure

Gave way to rain.

How much more are we who are tried

Under the abundance of rain?

What a great poem! If you don't mind can you explain to me what is a ghazal poem is? I love poetry but I'm not an expert yet haha.

[Melinda McQueen]

I probably didn't do it right. The ghazal is a poetic form consisting of rhyming couplets and a refrain, with each line sharing the same meter. A ghazal may be understood as a poetic expression of both the pain of loss or separation and the beauty of love in spite of that pain. The form is ancient, originating in Arabic poetry in Arabia long before the birth of Islam. The term Ghazal is of North African and Middle Eastern origin. Its root term in Arabic is " gh-zl " and is derived from the Arabian panegyric qasida. The structural requirements of the ghazal are similar in stringency to those of the Petrarchan sonnet. In style and content it is a genre that has proved capable of an extraordinary variety of expression around its central themes of love and separation. It is one of the principal poetic forms which the Indo-Perso-Arabic civilization offered to the eastern Islamic world.

Forgive me if I am ignorant, but did you mean "Tried" rather than "Tired"??? nice piece.

Life has hardships which I referred to as rain.
