HOME SICK

[العكبري]

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,
This is the first input for me into the pages of this respectful forum. What I would like to share with you is few words that I wrote during my visit to Canada back in October – November 2002. The visit was for few weeks in which I experienced a lot of conflicting feelings. One of those feeling was the dispute between the eastern and the western different civilization. However, the most overwhelming feeling was missing home and friends. So, I started during that visit to compose few verses entitled “Home Sick” to express my thoughts in that overseas trip.

To brief you guys, I’d like to let you go strait forward through the following lines which outline my experience and exposure to the artificial western culture.

HOME SICK


No feather or wings, but still can survive to fly

Passion and longing always wings me up to the sky

Trust you! But less you see the glitter in my eye

It is over! I will no longer struggle to shatter or die

Let the ocean be frozen! I’ll never repeat the try

Where else I dwell in, it is in vain for me to glorify

Back home! Warm I in my tent, no cold or even dry

Only my tent when I miss! makes me deeply cry

Mr. Ganes
Really wonderful poem
I am, and every emigrant, living these emotions everyday
Missing home
family
friends

I read your poem many many times
Whenever a person can go, he still (passionately) attached to his home, friends, memories

Accept my admiration of the piece of art you posted

Pls show your hidden treasures

Dear Al-Masah,
I’m very pleased to hear these good expressions from you and honestly feel glad to have been able to touch your thoughts through the feelings and emotions that I had depicted in my poem. For sure, your comments will encourage me to continue to do my best so as to meet your expectations and the satisfaction of all members of this English Forum.

Also, special thanks for the nice gesture by editing the format of the poem and making it look better. The poem now is occupying more space in the forum net due to your magic fingers

Please don’t worry about the query that I raised in response to the comments provided by Afaf, I was just kidding and trying to add a sense of humor to the subject.

بصراحة عفاف لو قالت وااااااه بالحضرمي بتكون أحلى بكثير من وااااو حق النصارى!!! ههههههههه
