"Clouds & Rain" Online

The clouds and rain radif challenge has reached its goal: a special issue of The Ghazal Page, presenting 13 excellent ghazals using the phrase "clouds and rain" as the radif. I'm very pleased with the results. Please have a look: I hope you'll be pleased as well.

The second radif challenge will be to use the radif "moon"; poets may add an adjective — full moon, autumn moon, hunter's moon, and so on, but the same adjective should be used consistently throughout.

The deadline is 2008 June 30. Please use "moon" in the subject line of an email submitting your ghazal(s) (up to three). Also, please send entries in the body of a plain text email, not as attachments or in formatted email.

Meanwhile, I plan to publish monthly issues; the next one will be about April 1.
