Hi ! I enjoy writing poems, and I will share my first poem in English with you !

"Freedom is a landscape 
Where I enjoy to walk 
The wind is refreshing 
The grass is soft 
The sun shines 
When it rains 
The sadness of the sky covers me 
My tears are golden 
And I would like to build a secret chest to keep them safe"

What do you think about it ?
Don't hesitate to share your poems !!!

Have a nice day !
- Claudia

I'm not a poet myself, but I'll write the English translation of a Persian poem by one of our greatest poets, Omar Khayyam:

"To wisely live your life, you don't need to know much
Just remember two main rules for the beginning:
You better starve, than eat whatever
And better be alone, than with whoever.”

Hi Claudia, I'm a fan of metaphors, rhetorical figures in general and sounds.
I know English is not your native language, and a personal advice in regards to my own taste, would be to try to make it sound "nice and smooth", euphonious, as if it was a melody.

Mr. Persian, how come you have internet connection and my friends from Kashan and Tehran still don't?
How are the protests going?
When will the internet be fully restored?

Thank you for your message !
When I write in English, I don't think about rhymes 'cause it's too complicated for me and my bad level in English ! However, your ideas are good !

Well, the government was extremely violent towards the protesters... about 200 killed maybe more, and a few thousand arrested.
The percentage of internet access is at 70% now... since the protests have been shut down for the most part, the government is reconnecting the internet again.
I don't live in Iran, so that's why I have internet connection... but my mom and my brother went to Tehran a few days ago and only today they contacted me and their connection was restored, but not all of Tehran of course.

Yeah my friend from Kashan could reach out to me only a few hours ago, and my ex is still without internet apparently.
It looks like I have a family in Iran 😂
One of the most beautiful and diverse countries I've ever seen.
Nature, Architecture, History, Art, Technology, Science, and the People.
The only problem is that Arabic "heritage" and the Islamic Revolution of 1979 🙁

Anyway I'm happy your family is alright as well)

Here is a more personal poem :

"Wait to be loved
Hope it won't be long
Don't even know where I belong

If only someone could take my hand
And could always understand
My crazy thoughts"

I hope I didn't make mistakes (sorry for my bad English)

It is written by an English author.

A darkest day, with no light deposit.
Seems to me, it is quite the opposite.
Where it is dark, there should be light.
So I go to bed with delight.

For when I sleep and dream.
One or more will bask in sunny gleam.
So fear not, for a darkest day.
Because turn to sun, it may

(Thought, to give this thread a whirl)

Your poem sounds good ! Unfortunately, I can't understand all these words, because I'm bad at English ! :')
