A Moroccan Poet

Filed under: Uncategorized — taamarbuuta @ 4:03 pm

Today it is with honor that I share with you the blog of a poet: Nasamat min bilady, who went to all the trouble of writing a (wonderful) poem about my husband and I in the comments of my last post, here.

Thank you!

    No comment. Just have a glance at the skyblog I fell upon recently. It’s not mine. But I dedicate these pics to you, Jill, to your husband and to all your blog fans.
    Long live Moroccan-American friendship!

    Salam Rachel

    Thank you so much for your interest.
    Please visit the blog above, then click
    Blog de Poésie
    in the LINKS.
    You will also find novels and poems in English, something like this:

    Would Sindbad be sad or glad
    To be back in Baghdad?
    Would he be happy
    To stay amid boys and tanks?
    Or rather say, “No, thanks! Bye!
    I’ll fly to New York!”
    Would he eat camel meat or pork
    In New York?
    Would he have milk and dates?
    Or chips and Coke in New York?
    Would he play the guitar?
    Or the lute and flute in New York?
    Would he study democracy at N.Y.U.?
    Or tell the Arabian Nights in Jersey City?
    Would he miss Layla in New York?
    Would he like the people there
    On Washington Square?
    Would he fall in love in New York?
    Would he say, “Get down, baby!”
    Or, “If only you knew how much I care!”?
    Would he go on air
    And say, “Hi Bush and Blair!
    No one’s lost, no one’s won.
    Stop the war! And let’s move on!”
