Added muse entry this morning. I have not touched poetry in a while but this prompt was great. I suppose the muse will get me back into the writing flow.
After re-reading it, I figured ghazl sounds better in Arabic due to the motion of its vowels and lack thereof, but English may still have a chance if the rhyme scheme was just right.
neocities won't post this week's prompt for some reason, so please just check the home page of the muse site! separately, i want to note that i really encourage y'all to comment on this profile once you've finished your pieces ! we don't all follow each other, after all. secondly, please comment on each other's writing ! the purpose of this club is obviously to write, but it's also to find community in writing.
neocities is being odd and not letting me post the prompt from the muse account, so here i am! new prompt for this week: write about echoes, sound, and reverberation. what is an echo– just sound or something more? how can it reverberate through past, present, and future? can emotion be an echo in that way? what else can be?

I like this one https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine/poems/90977/ghazal-for-becoming-your-own-country
I suppose we can also honor the OG's. This is one of the most important poets in the Middle East https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine/poems/144612/where-did-the-handsome-beloved-go
enigmatic poem... i love the grim prose/primrose bit
