Now, for those of you who are new to this challenge, we are doing an A to Z Poets Challenge. As part of celebrating the National Poetry Month on Swell, we will be doing one letter each day until we reach Z on April 28. To take part in this challenge, all you have to do is hit reply and share who your favorite poet is. Whose name starts with the letter G, which is the letter of the day
I had been waiting patiently for the letter G so I could talk about Mirza Ghalib. Ghaleb is probably the most well known Urdu poet of all times. He was born in north India in 1797, and his work is still very, very relevant. Fresh people sing it in so many different forms. In particular, he was famous for ghazals. Gaza is a very specific form of photo poetry, which has a very strict structure. Each ghazal is composed of couplets of two lines each

Thank you. I did not know who was the person who came up with that, so thank you for sharing
Hello, everyone. In English. They say English is the language of Shakespeare. And what is German? German is the language of Goethe. Yes. So he's been very creative. He’s lived for a long time and his poetry about nature is just fantastic. I mean, the amount he has written very complicated stuff. Very elaborate stuff. And very touching too. There are some short novels by him like Die Leiden des jungen Werthers the Sufferings of the Young Werther
