The mountain
The stream

The flower
The dirt

The hand
The heat

The heart
The ache

The stars
The gaze

The gift
For eternity

not the first time making a wrong assumption.  Just have fun with your poetry.

داداش بیکار بودی این همه آدمو گذاشتی سر کار؟ به این جماعت بگو بعضی وقتها شعر رو نباید برای معنی اون خوند. من که از این همه مدح سرایی حضرات گیج شدم. خدا نکنه این تبدیل بشه برای مقایسه شعر نو و کهنه.......   

 دستهایم را در وطنم دفن کنید تا برای همیشه خاک خانه ام را در آغوش گرفته باشند. 


Nur-i-Azal

I don't if it's me or what...

by Nur-i-Azal on

But contemporary Persian poetry just doesn't have the umpth and depth of the classical genre. Between us, no offense to anyone, after Malaku-Shu'ara Bahar poetry in Persian literature simply goes downhill. To me, most of this material sounds like really cheesey '60s Beat material but in Persian. Berate me all you like, but that's my opinion. Rudaki, Hafiz, Mowlana, Ferdowsi, Jami, Sa'di, Baba Taher, et al, stand head, shoulders and light years ahead of much of what sounds like airheaded, pseudo-existentialist genres of contemporary Persian verse. But then again, I am old school with my Persian literature. That said, I've seen some amazing material come out of the khanaqahs over the years as well...

Poetry Month?

by Jahanshah Javid on

Thanks Khar. Very kind of you. I'm just expressing feelings. I'm not sure why I'm hesitant to call it poetry.


Jahanshah Javid

Oh no...

by Jahanshah Javid on

Monda, 1) Thanks for the thought. 2) Not even close.


Monda

JJ,

by Monda on

1) you may hear The Song on youtube one day.

2)  Your Song is a nice match to Shana Yazdi's piece, in case you haven't noticed.

The Song of Life

by LalehGillani on

I find it soothing and comforting as if it flows from far to touch the soul. Once it reaches the heart, it simply carries the eternal gift of life. Beautifully done…

Personal

by Jahanshah Javid on

Thank you for your compliments All-Iranians, Anahid and Dr. Noury. I appreciate it, the latter two especially because you write wonderful poetry.

I know this does not have much literary value and I dare not call it a poem. But what can I say... it has personal value for me.


All-Iranians

A true picture of nature and its surrounding. Thanks.

Thanks for the lovely art, Red Wine. I was at the dentist yesterday. There was a poster on the wall, a painting of a harbor with a sailing boat and a bird, just like what you created. Del beh del raah daareh :)

Don't be so pathetic!

by M. Saadat Noury on

It's a great Nature Poetry. Are you telling us you're worried to write poetry? Don't be so pathetic! It is a very successful attempt. Please keep on composing.

Aboli, I'm forever grateful for your beautiful Persian interpretation. True poetry.

کوه، جوی، و خاک

aboli_moezzi


در دل کوهستان

پای هر جوی روان

دسته دسته بچینیم گلی

سر تعظیم به خاک بگذاریم

دستها را بر گردن یار آویزیم

تا از آن، یخ غم زده قلبهامان آب شود

سر را بالا کنیم

چشمک آستاره شب کوب تابان را

در نگاه دوستی دیدن بهتر شاید

و نترسیم و بگوییم:

"حادثه عشق" بهترین هدیه نیاکان است به ما

پاس داریم زیرا

تا ابد خواهد ماند


Monda
