New Day
At first light, I wake up to a new day
ready to get up with the dew, day.
On TV, the news misconstrues, day
weeding out the fake news that’s untrue, day.
Stymied, I could use a breakthrough day
something to help me make do, day.
I feel like I’m stuck in a queue, day
the feeling is like deja vu, day.
Feeling down, you’re the one I turn to, day
you tell me you’re coming to woo, day.
I impatiently wait to see you, day
with you, it won’t be a blue day.
The calendar tells me it’s Tuesday
he’s here, so I bid you adieu, day.

We are trying a ghazal today at dVerse~Poets Pub. A new form for me.

Such melodic rhythm here, like the trusted turn of the earth, offering us once again, a new day.

I really enjoyed this. Using a two-word rhyme gave very interesting effects.

Love the theme here Bekkie and it does really tumble along beautifully. The refrain is only required every second line of the couplets ( except first couplet where you use it on both lines) so you have enough material here now for two ghazals 😉 Thanks for playing.

Funny you say that, Paul. I was using the examples at the pub and ended up copying both. I like to write rhyme so I went crazy with it. It was fun to write.
I was just getting into writing weekly again when I got sick. Not the flu, but a bad head cold with a low fever. I can’t even ride my bike right now. I’m feeling better today so will be back to write again soon! I do enjoy reading and writing with everyone!

I like the jaunty rhythm of this and the clever rhymes about the day (fake news, deja vu, etc.)

The day can be so many things… the news and worry balanced against the beauty of the sun and sky… well handled.

Nice sound and flow. I find a ghazal challenging because of the repetition. I think you handled it well. I liked this phrase: “the fake news that’s untrue, day” and the use of “news” to fit the rhyme pattern.
