Longing letter
I took a step towards you again,
Hopes for the eternal springs.
I have a longing letter in my hand
Endless heart-wrenching writings.
I took a step towards you again,
I had to send my letter a long time ago.
A grassy suspicion scratches my heart
Missing does not give peace for some reason?
I take one step towards you,
Endless thoughts fall like rain.
What about U? There are thousands of you who are silent
The hearts are filled with hope.
I took a step towards you again,
There are empty rooms in my heart.
This is a longing note full of pain and lamentation,
I know you have those pictures in your mind.
I take a step towards you every day...

Poetry in the Clouds
The secret poetry of rain makes melody in the folds of clouds
The continuous flow of fountains painted on the mountains
Veiled nature's drunken invitation
At this time, who will tie the mind floating in the air?
The reflection of the heart running in the raindrops
Flowers' fragrance walks on a loose path
Like a bird that has lost its bond, it does not return to its nest
Can't you find love in the crowd of people?
A manuscript of a poem swirling in the breeze
The notes of love float in the voice of the sky
I extended both hands to the water of the horizon line
The mind just runs on the pull of who knows who.
FIRE WINGS
A distant day on the horizon resurrects,
And shows the rising day,
The day without end...
The roof collapses
to let the landscape in,
similar tatters from the walls
to dances in disuse
A halo surrounds my pupils
I am an ungrateful woman
non-phosphorescent recognition
but forgetful and versatile
A woman of good sense
breath in the air
the bubbles of my muses
they come back from time to time to explode
nuanced with light and sun
They make me happy
I am the stained glass
where the ashes make you stutter
color and line
I have wings of fire
I can limit the power of the gods
and cast down your imagination
I was mortal reproducing
I will be eternal destroying time
I will blush when the cold takes me
and I will be snow among my own flames!!!

IF YOU WANT TO BE POWERFUL , EDUCATE YOURSELF !
One day , after leaving university , my friend and I took a taxi from the city to go home . At one point , the taxi driver asked us :
“ who are you for society ? “ asked the question .
And we :
“We are a student , we are future teacher “ . we answered . Then taxi driver looked at us and laughed :
“What ?... you could not find it “
At the moment , I regretted spending 3 minutes of my time thinking about this person’s question … Then the taxi driver looked at us :
- You are a real pest for the society , not only for the society ,but also for your parents , no matter how much money you spend , pay the contract for your university and finish your studies , this one penny of your profit does not reach your family , because you feed someone else …
But he doesn’t know that I study at the university with scholarship and I thanked God for having a father behind me who would burn his soul for me to my study !
I wonder if there are still people among us who think like that ? I can not belive it . In fact , I think that these people are the most harmful people for our society today . Because that person thinks like that , and when he thinks like that , he does not let his daughter study and poisons many other people around him . If everyone in our society thought like that , then our society would never produce educated , knowledgeable , self-confident , conscious young people .
A wise man : Make your children – sons and daughters – knowledgeable and educated , if you have the opportunity to educate only one , make your daughter knowledgeable , because I am a coward than a cowardly father , a wise and lonely father than an ignorant one . I saw that a righteous child was born to a fool father , but I did not see a righteous child born to an immodest mother , a wise one to an ignorant mother , and a righteous child to a thieving mother . If we want to raise the nation , let’s educate women first !
Nowadays , many families and men are against women going to study . They can not properly accept the opportunities given to women and girls today . Because they think it corrupts women and girls.
Recently , a women threw herself and her 3 children from 9th floor . This is just a tragedy . This not a women’s , children’s or husband’s tragedy , but a nation’s tragedy . This is because this nation burdened a women with tasks that are 30 times more than her body , they decided that if women works , she should give the money she earns to her husband and others , and if she doesn’t work , she should sit at home without spending any money at all . Also , they burdened a women with the responsibility of having a child , a husband , parents-in-law , and a sitter –in for 7 clans .
They came up with the ancient world view that only the mother should be responsible for the child , and father should be a pet man .
This woman … this is not the first … this is not the last …
Because with us , a woman is not a person , because she has been prepared to be a bride all her life , she has not received education , she has not received sarpo … she is not satisfied with the love of her parents , she is only satisfied with advice , she is satisfied with unsolicited advice…
As long as the environment in society does not change , such situations will continue to repeat themselves …
Women who do not receive love and help in raising children from their husbands treat their children as personal property …
And if he wants to beat , if he wants to kill …
And the society builds a city where they died , builds tall buildings …
But it does not build a proper , practical system to stop this situation !
Let’s say even when women go to ask for a girl , they look at the girl from head to toe as if they were looking at an object . And in most cases , questions about
“how many languages you know ? ‘ ,
“what you are interested in ?” , and
“ which book you like ?” are not asked .
What is the question ?
“They ask if you know how to cook?” ,
“Do you bake dough ?”
“Are you a cooker?” …
In fact , you don’t need a very high IQ for these things , you can even learn them by looking them up on the internet these days . The world view of women in society is this ignorance .
My goal is that every girl is willing , strong ,independent…
Let’s study , girls :
This is the only way that will lead you to a better future and a beautiful life .
- In order not to depend on anyone tomorrow ;
- To be self –sufficient ;
- So that you can see what you want;
- To give your child a good education and upbringing;
- In order to have your own opinion and clear judgement when speaking !
- And not to commit similar unconscious actions .
There are so many reasons that I can’t finish writing !
The education of girls is so important in our society that to know this , it is enough to look at the lives of many women and girls around us . Women are suffering , living under heavy pressure , dying , killing their child …
It can be concluded that the society with educated women and girls is the strongest and most mature . The reason is that when a women studies , it affects not only herself but also her family , children and relatives .
Before the child is born what the mother does in the womb , if she learns , it will affect the child as well . The way of life of families will change , there will be fewer quarrels and misunderstandings in families where the woman is knowledgeable and intelligent .
Today , we are living in a time where the digital age is developing , you can earn money sitting at home , you can be a useful person in general . This is the time and it’s great , it should be used properly . Every woman has a great tendency to grow , to be useful , to show herself . We just don’t recognize this tendency ourselves .
Let’s say you have a desire and talent for teaching , you can take small videos and post them on the Internet and show yourself . It is interesting because so many people , kids , may not know what you know , and it is a win-win . You earn money by teaching what you know , you show your talent , and because of this , many people get new knowledge .
And motivation for you :
Dear girls , if you try and fail , congratulations ! Most people do not even try .
Dear girls , work hard so that one day you can write a big cheque to your parents , so that they can go on a world tour
Dear girls , study hard that one day your school will invite you as a chief guest.
Dear girls , your career should your first priority . It is not selfishness. It is necessary .
Dear girls , your father is working 12 hours a day just to give a better life . So you have no rights to disappoint that person
Dear girls , when your parents are not rich but still afford to give you a beautiful life . Appreciate their sacrifices .
And most importantly : IF YOU WANT TO BE POWERFUL , EDUCATE YOURSELF !
Denis Emorine’s new collection A Step Inside attacks, blasts, compels, disturbs, and ultimately enchants us with the (quite literal) power of language.
The first section’s poems evoke the psychological and emotional toll the creative process can take, along with its wonderment. We begin with an anecdote where the speaker stabs the disembodied voice of his creative muse when it asks him to write about the woman he loves, then finds blood on his pillow as he has destroyed part of himself (Metaphor). In another memorable piece, the letters of the alphabet literally assault a protagonist (A trap). Other pieces speak to acknowledging inspirations and aspirations one cannot fully reach (Nocturnal), to the havoc creative obsessions can wreak on one’s personal life (Disobedience), to the rejection an artist can face at the hands of the public (Fever) to the struggle to be able to create at all (Face to Face) to the solidarity creative writers can feel for each other (In Solidarity).
Yet, even with these tough-minded renditions of mental turmoil, the beauty, wonder, and ecstasy of the creative process still come through in A Step Inside. Emorine draws upon many of the traditional positive literary metaphors for inspiration: muses, stars, dreams, gardens at night, even in some of his most violent poems. Also, writer protagonists encounter magical moments others miss, including a lively visit with Kafka, climbing up to one’s flat.
The second section, From My Window, consists of longer narratives blurring the lines between artistic performance and seduction. In one, a former live theater tech invites his female neighbor to dress for him in the robes of Greek goddesses. At first reluctant, she embraces the role at the end and chooses to dress as Venus before they consummate their relationship (The Mural). Another story shifts the gender roles, with a male artist undressing in tune with the rise and fall of music and another man watching and discovering his passion for him (The Virgin and the Shadow). In another piece, an old and sick man who comes close to cheating on his wife at a literary conference finds himself instead taking comfort in the memory of her healing touch (Irina) and the final piece, Twenty-One Hundred Hours, involves a chaste intellectual friendship that develops between an older professor and a sex worker who turns out to be a literary student.
This new collection from Denis Emorine explores the different forms creative inspiration can take and the various ways it can shape and revamp our lives. Whether we are alone staring at a blank page in our bedrooms or encountering others at a symposium or theater, we can find ourselves wrestling with the angels of our art.
NOBEL PEACE PRIZE!!! The 2023 Nobel Peace Prize will go to Human Rights Defender, Southern Azerbaijani Turk, Zanjan-born Nergiz Muhammedi, who fought on the front lines of the Human Rights Struggle in Iran and is now convicted in the cold dungeons of Tehran and sentenced to 31 years of excessive punishment. As a soldier of approximately forty million Turks living in Iran, Nergiz Muhammedi and Azerbaijani Turks are always at the forefront of the struggle for freedom and Human Rights against the dictator Persian regime. On this occasion, I wholeheartedly congratulate Nergiz Muhammedi, Southern Azerbaijan The struggles of Turks for Human Rights and National Rights in Iran!!! After briefly talking about the Nobel Peace Prize given to Ms. Nergiz, let’s now see
WHO IS NERGIS MUHAMMEDI? She was born on April 21, 1972 in Zanjan, Iran. He successfully graduated from Imam Khomeini International University and received his doctor of physics degree. Throughout his university life, he wrote articles supporting human rights in student newspapers. Nergiz Muhammedi, who was sentenced to 16 years in prison in Tehran in 2016 for founding and running a human rights organization that campaigned for the abolition of the death penalty, according to information we received from reliable sources, was first arrested in 1998 for her criticism of the Iranian government and after serving eleven years in prison. In April 2010, she was summoned to the Islamic Revolutionary Court for her membership in the DHRC. She was released on $50,000 bail, but was re-arrested a few days later.
Meanwhile, Nergiz Muhammedi’s health had deteriorated while in custody and she suffered from an epilepsy-like condition that caused her to periodically lose muscle control. She was infected with the disease, so she was released and allowed to go to the hospital. Nergiz Muhammedi was tried again a while later, in July 2011, and was found guilty of “acting against national security, being a member of the DHRC and making propaganda against the regime”. In September, she was sentenced to 11 years in prison. He was sentenced. On July 31, 2012, Muhammadi was released from prison.
On May 5, 2015, Nergiz Muhammadi was arrested again based on new and unfounded accusations. The 15th Branch of the Revolutionary Court sentenced him to ten years in prison on the charge of “establishing an illegal group” and five years in prison on the charge of “counternational assembly and collusion”. On October 8, 2020, Nergiz Muhammadi was released from prison, and after a while, she was arrested again for another crime. While she was serving an unfair sentence just because she was a Turk. Her husband and two children live outside of Iran. When we think in this context, Nergiz Muhammedi deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. I congratulate her wholeheartedly and wish her success on this sacred path she has embarked on. I also thank those who contributed to this issue and congratulate her wholeheartedly…
