More than mid-way
August 16, 2010 by Lisa
Here it is mid-August and I’ve returned to this project after a long pause.
In the last few days I’ve added four poems to the 36 I’d previously posted. I do plan to complete the project — 50 ghazals in 52 weeks — by the first week in September.
I have to say, though, that I’m a bit annoyed with Zen-un-Nissa. Enough of this whining and complaining, already! I’m sure, or at least I’m hoping, it was therapeutic for her to write these poems and give voice to her suffering.
