Ghazal: For Rumi’s 806th Birthday!
“Happy birthday to Rumi. He was born 806 years ago today. Like all philosophers of that time, his fame only came to him posthumously.” So I read this morning at “A Mixed Bag”. For Pablo Picasso, I created a false cubism Haiga…so for Rumi the least I can do is try to write a Ghazal!

Ghazal
For Rumi
Verses of beauty wrote the great Rumi
Metaphors of love’s plea wrote the great Rumi
Embracing lovers in cunning Farsi,
Sensual bounty wrote the great Rumi
Persian born, of Islam in sweet loving terms,
Sufi philosophy wrote the great Rumi
Beyond right or wrong, seeking inside,
Without sophistry wrote the great Rumi
Can Bastet not sing his lauds on his birthday,
In Ghazal, for you see, wrote the great Rumi.
