I do hope that you are OK. I hate it when poets go missing. It is a dangerous world and I worry about you Shifa. John

I've stumbled onto your profile page and what a fortunate stumble it was since I've really enjoyed reading all your samples and will certainly be exploring more of your writing. You seem to have a gift for using exquisite descriptors without making it seem obscure or heavy. It makes the poetry sparkle but the bulk of it is that the poetry is meaningful and purposeful too. Count me as one happy reader.

My favourites were and Flutters & Flurries, Walls of Discord, and Canvas

thank you for not commenting on "Goldfish"
when you run into this type poem
it's best to say nothing at all.

Hey there Shifa. I suspect we are very different in externals and very much as one in the art of the word. Thank you kindly for your encouraging comments on my poems, they are very much appreciated. My intention now is to read every word you deem to write. That's not a threat but a promise! The 13th century AD (Christian calendar) Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī, one of my favourite poets, a Sufi mystic from Persia, once wrote:" We carry inside us the wonders we seek outside us" and , most tellingly, "Yesterday I was clever so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise so I am changing myself.”

Good luck in all you do. You are a true poet. Best wishes - John

I thank you Shifa for reading and leaving a comment!

Your work looks like how art should look. Welcoming and yet mysteriously presented where you want to look for more.

Thank you for reading "The Fledgling"
a baby bird is helpless
until it has feathers
on its wings.
