Arabian Women In Veil (Article) - 5/24/2008 3:26:28 PM
I enjoyed reading your article very much! As a child (60+ years ago :o) I had often wondered why Arabian Women wore such heavy-looking clothes in hot weather (I thought material to be wool).! You explained the tradition very well, proving we never get too old to learn more about our World. Thank you...would enjoy reading more of your traditions.

This is gorgeous, as always. I too love that feeling--I always called it a "poetic depression," but you're too right (write?) it is not a negative thing; it subtracts all the zeros, and leaves you with nothing but...peace... Ahh, love it! --Char

My Soul Visit's Zanzibar (Poetry) - 8/20/2008 3:49:55 AM
This is lovely! Zanzibar has always sounded so romantic, it seemed like a place that had been created in some author's mind! And there you are! Ah, dear, always remember the precious love and memories of your father, so mine was killed before I was born and having never known that individual, I think, is uniquely sad...yet I have no memories...think about it...Thank you so much for sharing!

Again, fluid thoughts mingled with imagery-- a pleasure to read. Sorry to hear about your father. My mother died 1&1/2 years ago-- it is so very hard. Those memories from youth though-- they'll cradle you when it hurts too bad, and soon enough the pain starts to dissipate. I hope that comes soon for you. --Charlie

You are the voice of those whose voice is not heart: Keep writing dear nasra. Forward ever, Backward never.

Beauty clad in deep passion, discovering itself in language, which, in an unexpected turn, discovers and finds itself in notions that exceed its frame, expressing itself in phrases that mirror notions and emotions beyond it.

Very beautiful and intense. Poetry at its best.

This is beautifully written artistic work Nasra. You are a powerful voice for the powerless masses suffering from terminal and chronic illnesses. Society tends to sideline them, but it is none of their fault. We can all face the same. Keep the nice work coming. Thanks. Jibril

I can only place a thought within the tragedy of which these women and the many who suffer this unfortunate journey....
Your poem shows great strength they have used to overcome their tragic event...
Peace and love...

THIS is beautiful. The whole atmosphere of the piece is healing. My favorite lines:
"Silently I instructed these hands of mine
To hold me through, as I took a stand"
and then a backstep in cadence:
"Trembling feet on persuasive stand..."
And the shape of the poem, like a womb--
Write on. You bless all women with your writings. --Charlie

Lovely, Nasra! Very well penned; brava! :)

I agree with Charlie. I like the idea of poetry as a verb, an action where the author also becomes the object that receives the pleasure of words of fire.

What a interesting little thing. Poetry becomes a verb, and a raging volcano all in one. It's firey and passionate, and lovely. I think you have been Poetried. --Charlie

Good stuff. Reminds me of anessa blaine. If you haven't checked out her den, do so. I think you'd find a kindred spirit. --Charlie
