Road

Ever there spanned the long wending road;
Stretching aloft a life mending road.

Expanses unknown stirred mighty goad,
Spurring ventures along trending road.

Drifting alone with great mental load
Lost on vastness of peace lending road.

Changing lands made for phasing abode
Beneath shifting skies of sending road.

Hopes found new form through steady erode
Of useless views from strength spending road.

Mid moving seasons wandering strode
Zahaar in learning on tending road.

I found this extremely interesting...and Zaahar? Enlighten me please? Enjoyed this much and found the repetition of the word "road" very effective--well done!

ah, yes, Zahaar. um, if you would like, send me an email to timewarp@slip.net, and i'll send you a detailed explanation of this form of poetry, called Ghazal. i've done some extensive research, so what i can send you is far more informative in the way of explaining form than what you'll find on the web.
