My poem is<br />
<br />
A dove<br />
<br />
with one wing<br />
<br />
It sprinkles the ashes of the heart<br />
<br />
on torn off limbs<br />

<br />
My poem is<br />
<br />
An an amputated hand<br />
<br />
With its finger holding on<br />
<br />
To the engagement ring<br />
<br />
....<br />
<br />
My poem is<br />
<br />
A bloody lily<br />
<br />
groomed and brightened<br />
<br />
While being thrown at the coffin<br />
<br />
My poem is<br />
<br />
Severed limbs<br />
<br />
Divided by shells<br />
<br />
On the childrens' seats and notebooks of<br />
<br />
A school belonging to the UNRWA<br />

<br />
My poem is<br />
<br />
The eyes of three hundred million<br />
<br />
The tears of three hundred million<br />
<br />
And the fingers of three hundred million<br />
<br />
Waiting to press the trigger<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
My poem is<br />
<br />
A child trying to light<br />
<br />
A match<br />
<br />
A poem rolled in TNT<br />
<br />
On the river Nile<br />
<br />
...<br />
<br />
My poem is<br />
<br />
A swallow with small tearful eyes<br />
<br />
Not from the cold<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
...<br />
<br />
My poem is<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
A missile that has not yet launched<br />
<br />
And red circles on the pillows of the quivering<br />
<br />
...<br />
<br />
My poem is a smashed skull<br />
<br />
A plant that digs tunnels<br />
<br />
On the stone<br />
<br />
....<br />
<br />
My poem is<br />
<br />
Beautiful Palestine<br />
<br />
Divided as the leaves of basil<br />
<br />
Amongst the raining clouds!!??tag:ipeace.us,2008-12-08:2217368:BlogPost:6492662008-12-08T23:34:43.000Zahmad qadrahttps://ipeace.us/profile/ahmadqadra

Poet from Syria<br />
<br />
و قف السنجاب على شجرة<br />
<br />
عالية<br />
<br />
و بسهولة<br />
<br />
تبول على الأعشاب<br />
<br />
و كأنها ميتة<br />

A squirrel stood on a high tree<br />

He easily<br />
<br />
Urinate on the grass ………<br />
<br />
As if it is dead ……..
