wow, i just love to try my hand at new forms of poetry.

but pottygok, what IS a Ghazal? what is the criterea to write one? are there a certain number of syllables in each line? your article certainly examined the challenge of writing a good one, but i need to know, what is one?

also, what are masculine and feminine words? what makes a masculine or feminine rhyme? i haven’t been to school in 14 years, maybe they covered this there and i’m just to old to recall… but i’d like some guidelines, so that i may join in.

thank you for introducing us to this new written form! i’m excited to try it and i really enjoyed your examples at the end.
