Challenge
I'm curious to try out poetic form called doha. It is Hindi in origin and a self-contained (rhyming?) couplet, traditionally spiritual or sensual in nature. Each line is 24 syllables w/ a caesura (break) in between the first 13 syllables and the last 11 syllables. I THINK there's no limit to number of couplets. Confused enough yet? I know I am, so I'd love to see what cleverness Prosers come up with. Let's call it a #loosedoha. Pixie points for anyone who can do a sortha (inverted doha).
hiding
the music is playing and the world is now tuned out
the people go on moving but in silence
my hands over my ears, I just want to be...not here
I cannot break this nature of defiance
I turn it up to try to drown out the world
with the heavy beats, the drums, the guitars, the voices
if I become deaf from the noise of music
at least I'll still be deaf to the world I've avoided
