Our Nye-Inspired Poetry

I will update this post as everyone posts their poems.

Aim for Journeys

Journeys can be different. 

Follow your eyes and walk through the world: 

To see those damp new grapes in the orchard, 

To hear these prayers and let them cool you down, 

And sleep on those stones with rough edges. 

Bread is my breakfast.
Letter is on the table.
Voice start, thought walked in my brain.
I listen to the voice, and sleep on the ground.
Flower's fragrance fly in the air.
My mom send message, and let me go to school.
I'm so tired.
But I should learn.



Arabic prayers said kneeling

Long years make lives

Wisdom listens more

New message saying


I was learning while guests were talking,

I can heard it.

Mom passed me coffee and grape.

I ate and learned half-heartedly,

I said that I wish to sleep because I got fever.

She sat with me and told me folktales.

Longing (inspired poem)

Papa went a journey to white sky
With his damp and sick skin,
With my foolish, indifferent
and half-hearted thought

However he is still everywhere around me
At the street, in my dream, even in my pocket

Papa if you are listening,
Please answer to my dim voice

See,
Sky is blacker.
I wish,
terrorists stop.
Tell me,
When can we see flowers again?

I am in a long journey,

A journey that is too long and too important.

A journey with strong emblems and assurance.

It's mysterious and it's like a miracle.

It never ends

Coffee is never too strong for me,

Let it in 

Day start, Day finish 

Carry you to the balanced road

A voice comes from sky,
Says "Answer me, are you a dreamer?"
I tell him years ago I was
I dreamed about being a seed,
I could become a fruit,
I could become a tree,
A cherry tree,
Or even a fig tree.
But now, I am just a normal people pass among the street.





Papa told me that, Arabics' life is mysterious.

Faith is more important than other things.

He went to Arab as a guest.

"People around the world think their life is strange and sick,

but I think they are just faithful.

Years past.

There was a hard time.

Learning form the life.

Have a cup of coffee.

Once thought that never stop.

Picking up the sunshine, 

and put into my pocket.
