Throw Some Seeds (Ghazal) Poem by Muhammad Ali

Throw Some Seeds (Ghazal)

Rating: 5.0


Throw some seeds
Lives are weeds

Every one shouts
No one heeds

Words are flowers
Thorns are deeds

Gesture, when hurts
Inner self bleeds

Hope or distance
Nothing concedes

I was thinking about Ghazal, we have our own ghazal version...maybe some differences there look upon your work, first i am happy to see you start to write again Ali, and the thoughts also are a good expression that i really can relate to, a good write...for that you should continue making this You did a good job dear :) :) you know it!

I always find myself coming back to this poem...There is something about the metaphor of each person being that weed that triggers, through the seed of words, the field of green to advance. How different might the world be if, just if, we were the daffodils? Such a great work, Ali.

Short and sweet, but a perfect Ghazal form, and thought provoking as often, marvellous, dear poet

Every one shouts No one heeds................................ What an epigrammatic portrayal of the times when people make a lot of hue and cry over everything, but when no one pays attention to anything going on around....! Profound and terse as ever!

There's a deep connection between that first and third stanza that I just can't shake. Perfectly executed, Ali. This verse goes straight to myfavourites.
