 Suitor by Lawrence Alma-tadema from a google search

Flippant Suitor

To where do rosebuds traverse

If not in the sequence of verse


In the intentions of our universe

Already fixed to no reverse


Why then suitor, romancer, do worse

Than a heart wounded or curse


As bended knee rises another to converse

With same adoration so perverse

    Very nicely done, Gillena. Your site did not come up when I clicked on it, until I clicked on your title page and then it came up. Not sure what happened.

      It's the Blogger vs. WordPress phenomenon ???

    Who knew there were so many words containing the word -verse Gillena but you used them to perfection in this Ghazal...

    I had tried your link a few days ago and got a message that it didn't exist, so I'm glad it's up now. Great word play with "verse." 😊
