First, welcome! We're very pleased to have you. I know you are an expert on Persian literature, and I would very much appreciate your take on what an English ghazal in the best spirit of the original would like. What I would call "lazy" ghazals are a little trendy in the mainstream, and I am not interested in adding to that number. However, when I have tried to look for more responsible guidance, the advice has been conflicting. I have great confidence in your judgment, and will gladly take your opinion as authoritative. Thanks so much. Mike
