Exasperation
I'm sick and tired of my adulthood..
I'm sick and tired of everybody's adulthood.
When is reincarnation coming?
I choose to believe..
I will be a mare again
And run with mustangs
Ever so wild and free
Never shoed..never broken
I will be a blue butterfly
Madly in love with the sun
I will shed off my cocoon
And in his mighty thrown
He will see me coming

The mark of a great poet I imagine is that anyone can relate to thepoems as if they were one's own - reading into the themes one's ownvaried particulars. When I read your poem, in your case I had imaginedit be Israel-Palestine. But both Deep and Dark segments also stand ontheir own as independent poems, and I could also map my particulars tothem. I Look forward to reading some of your other ones too. You havean uncanny nack for beautiful imagery-expression! MashaAllah. Yourbook will sell for sure in the West - if you make it happen. Salaams,

I write in peace and wanted to share with you that Cindy Sheehan sent your poem to me and I know that I feel an acute responsibility for everything that is happening in the middle east and especially in Iraq. I protest with all I can give...I write letters to our administration....I stand out in the cold and the heat; in snow storms and rainstorms with signs raised and blocking recruitment stations...I haunt the offices of my congressmen...and still they are not listening!
But, I will not stop until this nightmare has stopped.
My heart goes out to every mother who has suffered the loss of their child; to every family who has suffered an injury; to every family who has had to flee.
I do believe that this country that I live in is doomed if we continue on the course we are headed. And, I do believe that money is in control here...that the very rich (which unfortunately comprises a good deal of our leadership) makes decisions to line their own pockets and they do not care about the future of either of our countries or of our children.
Please, keep writing and speaking out as I feel it is only the support of the international community in the efforts of peace that will force the administration of the United States to end this war and this nightmare for all of us.
In peace and love,
Carolyn Cole
Thank you Carolyn
I and the world will appreciate your efforts

Dear Hend
I have spent some time in your country and I am very sorry for what the US has done to your "part of the world"
As our world shrinks, I realize that you are my sister and I will try even harder to help bring peace to your region.
The poem was very meaningful to me.Love and sal'aam

Hello!
You have never met me and possibly never will, sadly. My name is Kohleun and I'm a university student, studying philosophy and women's studies, in a small town in Oregon, U.S.A. Searching the Internet, I found your blog on Google, and your poetry delights me. I also love to write and read poetry; actually, I breathe through it.
My roommate and her family live in Jordan and she and I are both saddened by the stereotypes and assumptions that are made about Arab women by people in the United States. Stereotypes should be dissolved.
Thank you! Thank you!
Peace be with you and yours,
Kohleun Adamson

I translated that and got :
The best way to foster healthy child is the parents first become able-bodied people.
Thank you
愛情是盲目的，但婚姻恢復了它的視力。.........................
Love is blind, but marriage restores its sight
Dear 5225
Though the idea is irrelevant to the poem, I find it independently intriguing. Write to my email should you care to discuss it further.
But in English please :)
Thank you for commenting
