A MONOSTICH POEM

It is a (Single-Lined micro-poem expressing a  complete thought)

It breaks my heart to see you sadden, feeling oppressed, obfuscated or downtrodden, I would fight pulchritudinous for your pride, to always stand by your side, I would fight inexorably not to see you crying or by serendipity not to see your smile dying. 

 Vineyard guarded by the flowers

In my life, you are the sun in the orbit of passion

I melted ‎‏a thousand beats on the embers while waiting.

‎‏A lifetime has passed on the long pilgrimage to rendezvous

‎‏The black sky above my head made me lose hope and steps.

‎‏As we got back from the scattered themes,

‎‏We crossed the valley of stolen dreams

Your love was in my heart and kept us survived throughout the journey.

How can I ever forget our crazy letters on the wall?

‎‏And the way we walked in that vineyard which had aligned aisles orchard. 

The vineyard that was ‏guarded by the flowers?

In Clive Gresswell’s Shadow Reel, fragments of thought seep through consciousness like a shadow of a film documenting our waking existence. 

Like our background internal monologues, there are no chapters or verses, only thoughts of varying lengths. Yet, the ideas connect loosely to one another, with a word or phrase in one fragment often echoing something in the next. For example, on page 28, we read “map gold. etchings to the emergency rooms. elegies of doubt.” Gold is an element in fine artistry, etchings are a type of visual art, and an elegy can be written for someone who did not make it home from the emergency room. 

Some words and ideas are recurring, such as “tomato,” mentioned 62 times in the manuscript, “blue” a little over 30 times, and “metalanguage” used 33 times. Metalanguage would be words about words, a commentary on the experience or nature of reading and writing. So perhaps Shadow Reel brings us a glimpse of what comes after we read, how we meditate on certain thoughts or images after we see or hear them, when we continue to process them at a level beyond literal meaning. 

The book also carries a distinctly British sensibility, with mentions of Liverpool, Birmingham, the Chancellor, and the moors. It’s grounded in a culture, if not a specific address. 

The language is relatively complex and Gresswell uses literary devices such as alliteration: “a conglomerate of cheerless conservatives” (page 33) and “the pale puce of his postulation” (page 31) and varies syntax so that the book sounds like an experimental composition. He follows e.e. cummings’ style of avoiding initial capitals while still using periods, letting the individual fragments of thought loosely flow into one another. 

Readers can imagine Shadow Reel intoned in a crackly bass radio voice, with an emergent rhythm that seems to arise spontaneously and never becomes monotonous due to the variety of sentence lengths. It’s a voyage worth taking into the unconscious.

Dreams definitely come true

You know that we always dream, but these dreams may or may not come true. Whether our dreams come true or not is in our hands. We should always try because a person who can dream can certainly act.

The strongest people are those who take steps towards their dreams, do not listen to what people say, and have their own opinions. People whose dreams do not come true are the weakest and most unlucky people, because they do not take steps towards their dreams, they just live and dream.

Dreams come true sometimes quickly, sometimes more slowly, some of our dreams even take years to come true. There is a reason why our dreams come true late. The most important thing is that we should not stop.

Why do so many people fail in the pursuit of their dreams or stop halfway to their dreams? The reason for this is their lack of will, they realize their dreams in part and they say that I did it and it will happen to me. But people who think like that have made a big mistake.

You know that the first step taken to make dreams come true can be difficult, but the end will be very beautiful. The main thing is to believe in yourself. Promise yourself that “I will definitely make my dreams come true.” Overcome all difficulties on the way to your dreams, never take a step back. You can certainly make your dreams come true.

Do not forget that your dreams will come true, the main thing is not to make the above mistakes. I repeat once again, dreams will definitely come true!

Attention to the youth – attention to the future! 

Today in Uzbekistan, a lot of attention is paid to educating the young generation to have their own opinion, their own place, educated and potential. Therefore, the future of our nation depends on the education given to our youth today.

  Knowledge alone is not enough to create a perfect generation in every aspect. In this regard, love for the motherland, humanitarianism, leadership and always forward-looking qualities should be formed in our youth in harmony with knowledge. In order for the future generation to grow up with these feelings, not only parents and teachers, but also the neighborhood and the neighborhood as a whole will need a great contribution of the society. In order for young people to become mature and well-rounded personnel, their rights and interests should be guaranteed first. In this regard, the rights of young people are guaranteed in almost every reform implemented in Uzbekistan today. As an example of this, the law of the Republic of Uzbekistan “On the foundations of state policy regarding youth” covers the issues of legal and social protection of young people, support of their talents, “On guarantees of children’s rights” The powers of authorities and management bodies in this regard and other social relations related to the field are legally regulated in the law. In particular, it is noteworthy that Article 41 of our Constitution guarantees the right to free general education for young people. The right of a person to receive education is also strengthened in the Law “On Education” adopted on the basis of our basic law and the National Program of Personnel Training.

On May 17, 2023, a meeting dedicated to the improvement of the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan “On State Policy Regarding Youth” was held in the Legislative Chamber of the Oliy Majlis. As it was mentioned, in recent years in our country constant communication with young people who are the owners of our future, realization of their intellectual, spiritual and physical potential, in general, special attention has been paid to the issue of youth as one of the priority tasks of the state policy.

On the initiative of President Shavkat Miromonovich Mirziyoyev, June 30 was declared “Youth Day” in our country. “Brave boy” state award and “Builder of the future” medal were established in order to encourage our dedicated young people who are achieving high results and achievements in various fields. Also, a completely new system of working with the owners of our future – “Youth Register” and “Youth Program” is being implemented.

It is not for nothing that the new year 2024, which has entered our country, is called the “Year of Youth and Business Support” and the foundations of the third renaissance are recognized. We need to use this attention to the youth and the great opportunities created, to appreciate it, to justify the trust of our country and people.

Death, My Confirmed Guest


Death, my confirmed  guest,
Very often I forget you
You must come to take me
To the land of infinity. 
I should have to adorn myself
With flowers of good deeds
To receive you freshly and happily.
But l have spent time in vain
For nothingness in the wrong track
I do not know when you will come
But it is constantly true that you must come
Everyone can break promise except you
You do not cheat with time
No one can stop you.
