He has me laughing.
When looking at me, I melt,
touch is explosive.
~
What is love to you?
Romantic love is double,
two people in love!
~
Trees turning color,
fall — my favorite season,
cooler than reason.
~
Fall is here to stay.
Leaves - red, yellow, orange, and green.
No snow yet today!

A Ghazal For You
THE GHAZAL, Minimum of 10 lines. Couplets. All lines must have the same number of syllables. Both lines of the first couplet end with the same word. (called a radeef) This word also ends line 4, 6, 8, etc. The word preceding the repeating word follows a different rhyme scheme but still rhymes with the other words before the radeef. No words can be used twice for this kaafiya. The ghazal (pronounced like “guzzle”) has a long and complex history, migrating throughout Africa, Asia, and the Middle East in its 1400 year history. The earliest ghazals date back to 7th century Arabia, shortly after the Islamic Caliphate was formed. Ghazals are romantic and tragic in nature, a tradition that many contemporary poets uphold. Psh, is that all? Ghazals are tricky and require each word to be carefully chosen, so a good ghazal may take a very long time to complete. Adapted Bing

Beautifully done.
These set of Haikus were so wonderful! Lovely work!
Beautiful
The imagery in this poem is so vivid. I can almost feel the electricity between the two people.
