Souri jan, thanks for your input

Thanks for reading my poem and also for your comment. It is certainly true that I can not pack my poems with metaphors. For an example of a poem that has many metaphors, read the one in this comment thread from "Fereshteh Sari".

Powerful

Your poem is very great and powerful, dear Anahid.

I truly enjoyed reading it.

Thanks for sharing.

Monda jan, thanks for your words of encouragement

I am glad that you liked it. You are welcome about being introduced to Ms. Sari.  Actually couple other commentators on IC wrote about "Fereshteh Sari" and then I googled her and found some of her poems.

One of my favorites by you

آناهید جان، به نظر من این شعرت خیلی‌ موزیکال است و به همین دلیل خیلی‌ به دلم نشست. روزی، روی صدا هم قشنگ خواهد شد.

ضمنا از این که خانم ساری رو به من معرفی‌ کردی ممنونم. 

This poem from "Fereshteh Sari" has many metaphors

Someone on "Leila Farjami" blog had mentioned "Fereshteh Sari" (I believe that I have her name correctly) as a good poet. I did an Internet search and I was drawn to this poem that Fereshteh wrote. This one has many interesting metaphors.

            كه مي توانم

                       خورشيد را چون اناري بشكافم

                      و عصارة فروزانش را

                                               جوهر كلكم سازم.

اينك مي توانم

              خفيه گاه آفتاب را در شب

                                                      افشا كنم 

حتي مي توانم

                  شب را

                          چون طومار فرسوده ئي فرو پيچم

                                                                     و به گوشة انباري بگذارم .

اينك چنانم

          كه مي توانم

                     كشتي نيم غرقه ئي را

                                              با انگشنانه ئي

                                                           خالي از آب كنم

شكاف ژرفش را

                 با شكوفة بادام شلال بزنم

        و از انگشت اشاره ام پاروئي بسازم و

                                                  از تلاطم امواج رهايش كنم .

اينك كه موج نقره گوني بر لبة ليوان آبم مي شكند

                       مداد من تنورة داغي ست

                              كه دود طبخ شعر را در اتاق مي پراكند .

                      دو عقربة ساعت برايم

                                    بسان دو جوجه اند

                                    كه زير بال ثانيه ها

                                                        نك مي زنند و بزرگ مي شوند .

اما

      لحظه ئي ديگر كه بهمن فرو مي ريزد

                        نمي دانم سنگ پشت بي حوصله كي تكان خواهد خورد

آقای حسینی عزیز، لطف دارید

متشکر که شعرم را خواندید و نظر نوشتید.

سرشار از احساسات انسانی‌

از شعر تو استعاره  می‌بارد

Laleh jan, miss your poems and writings

dear Laleh, thanks for reading and commenting. I have read your blogs about plight of refugees on IC, but miss your poems and other writings.

تلخی غیبت و قهری

خورشید و باران در کنار یکدیگر... مگر جایی برای استعاره ها باقی میماند؟ تلخی غیبت و قهری را در شعرت لمس کردم. حس فروغ فرخزادی هم میان "شاعرک ها" جهانگیر است، حسی که طاعونش را گه گاه تجربه کرده ام...

Thanks Shirin jan for reading and commenting

به لطافت باران

that I think more aptly applies to your piano plays. These days, I have actually been thinking about music so much. It is Mash Ghasem's fault. I believe that was he who asked me to write a song in a manner of Jackson Brown's Rosie song. So my new obsession in past few days has been song writing. So far, I turned one English poem into what I call "Lyrics".  But then, I am so bad with music that I had to actually Google what Rhythm in lyrics means. Any way, it is great that you know so much about music. May be you, Ari, or Red Wine should blog some of your music knowledge on IC.

آناهید عزیز

بسیار زیبا...و به لطافت باران

ممنون

شیرین
