With the moon talk but, did you
See behind your sad face
Your youth was dead.
Did you see how you forget
The name of the flowers.
With moon talk but, the
Sadness does not leave you.
Did you see you came here to cry.
With the moon talk , now
Turning around your face. the
Death that loves to call you , by
Your first name" Hormooz".
Poet, in the moon eyes
Did you see fifty spring
Passed by you sadly?

Good poem. I am a fan of classical Farsi ghazal, but know little about the current literary scene of Iran. Would somebody care to tell me the how much the ghazal form is used by major Farsi poets today. The reply could appear on this ite or preferably be e-mailed to me.

Dear Mira; not very many poets use form of Ghazal in poetry,except few poets that once in a while as a fun they use form of Ghazal. Since 1960,s new form of poetry has become of interest to Iranian poets , which started with a famouse poet NEEMA YOSHIG . mahmag
