Poetry - الشعر

[الغزير]

اقتباس المشاركة الأصلية بواسطة : منتظر النايف A Message I sat in the evening To witness the turning of the azure sky Like a sorrowful tear .Shed on a rosy cheek from a drowsy eye Odor and nectar :The wind carried from her unearthly residence ;Virginal is her smile ;Rejoicing are her eyes .Frightening is her silence ;Eternal is my love ;Reposing are my words .I am sublime Regretful is my soul :To love who shall never be mine ,A dreamless, charming, delicate ;Titivating, elegant female ;Nymph-like and sublime .By Allah made and spoiled for another male ,All vanishes but her feminine voice .Which rings in my ears from time to time 19 April 1996

.You think so? Thanks

Writing poetry is not a big deal. For me it is easier than writing an
.article or even a short essay

The idea is that when you express your feelings towards everything around you, what you get in fact is poetry. Poetry is language filled with emotions. You probably need to choose certain words that carry deeper meaning and perhaps you also need to make it
.attarctive to the ear. It doesn't have to rhyme to be called poetry

For example, if I want to describe my day today, I need to focus on
.what feelings in my heart I can express into words

I may feel tired at the end of the day, so I will look for either an expression in English that can convey meaning or search for an
:image that speaks for itself. So, I may say

.So worn out at the end of the day I seem to be

,Or

Like a tired bee going back to its hive
At the end of the day, I sank into my bed
,And to my murmuring soul I said
."Sleep babe, sleep. Al Fajr prayer is just after five"

I do encourage everyone who knows English - not necessarily very well - to start expressing their emotions in simple lines. Once you
.love it, you will go on and on
