Here's my found poem from Tuesday. I haven't decided if I'm done with it yet but here's a draft for you guys to comment on.

Punctuate this Poem

Apparently its national
Bad Punctuation Week

Punctuate this sentence for Alissa
Is Christmas December 25 2004 I asked

Good luck
Apparently Alissa believes that Christmas is a once in a lifetime event

That kind of naivete more than adequately explains
the confusion over punctuation

Isnt Jesus more important
than question marks and semicolons

If one doesnt know how to eat
it will not matter if he is served steak or tofu

Take note of the important things first
like Christmas and how to eat

But do not forget about the little things
like punctuation and tofu

Ghazals are extremely interesting poems. I can't for the life of me figure out how to write one effectively. I've been trying, and maybe I'll post some of my efforts but I doubt it. They're really bad. I do like the repetition in Ghazals, and the way Shahid rhymes is incredible to me. I've always had trouble with rhyming (as you all well know), so it really sticks out when something flows so nicely into a rhyme.
