I happened to be in between two rival that are quite important to my life. One is poetry and the other is Film-Making. I don't know which one i should side with. My heart advises to go with Film productions but my head insists to continue with poetry. I try to appease the rivals and do them both if i can. If not, one of them should accept to be rated as less important in the realm of my thinking priorities.
Happy Holidays
I started with one poem at AD in 2002
I never thought I could add one more
With your support I increased the number
This year alone I wrote well over a hundred
I live in a war-torn thug-infested city
I have no library to lend books or to refer
But I have an internet and an active den
So grateful I am to you for the encouragement
My special and most sweet Thanks go to Eileen
Karla, Safi, Lori and Dawn are unforgettable
My heart is out to Sherry, Regis and Jude
Thanks to everybody. Thanks to you all
I have learned so much from your poems about Africa, particularly the political and economic challenges faced there. I have learned more from your poems about how we are all much more alike than we are different. You will continue to have an impact, whichever path you choose, and I wish you every joy and success. Thank you for the gifts you have shared here. May God be with you. Dawn
Abdi-Noor,
You have enlightened me about a situation I was not intimately involved in. To see your life thorough your heart has been a blessing and an education to me. I have enjoyed reading your offerings and I hope that you will continue to grace the pages of AD with your works. I can certainly understand you wanting to persue film making, too, though. Film has the potential of reaching a much larger audience and allowing more of the world to understand the plight of your people. Thank you for being here and thank you for all of your wonderful writings.
Take care,
Sherry
i must echo the sentiment of the other authors ... thanx for your insightful and expanding creativity ...
film-making is indeed a profound art, somewhat similiar to writing a poem ... giving us the perspective of what is seen through the lens of a camera just like the lens of the poet's eye ... enjoy film-making, i did when i minored it way back in college days ...

Potential meets purpose for great accomplishments in the life of a young student.
A young student is interested in learning coding programs. He applies and is rejected because of his age. He does not give up and tries again and is accepted. Eventu
