The House of Poetry at the Sharjah Department of Culture organized a poetry evening, in which the poets Ahmed Imad Al-Din, Rawda Al-Muttaf, Majid Abdullah, and Sulaiman Al-Zoubi participated, in the presence of the poet Muhammad Abdullah Al-Buraiki, director of the House.
Attending a poetry evening
The evening was presented by Maryam Kwais, who expressed her gratitude for the pivotal role that the House of Poetry plays in the cultural arena, especially as it documents an important stage in the history of Arabic poetry, by highlighting many poetic models who enjoy reciting poetry in an interactive atmosphere, among an audience that loves and appreciates poetry. Because of the creativity taking place in the cultural environment, in light of the presence of real experiences that have their own character, and have the ability to soar in the spaces of beauty, appreciating these efforts that are growing thanks to the guidance and support of Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah, whose initiatives represent importance. Great for poetry and poets everywhere.
The poets’ poems soared in the space of beauty, and were able to effectively influence the souls of the audience, as the poems focused on highlighting human concern and its accumulations in life, in a manner consistent with the poets’ personal experiences, so the scene was completed with luminous words that carried the fragrance of creativity, in addition to the fact that their poems expressed their methods. In dealing with their literary issues, they asked fundamental questions that simulated reality and were full of expressive images and free imagination. The audience that filled the verses of poetry interacted with them, despite their diversity and their representation of all educated groups who appreciate the role of poetry in beautifying the face of life.
Part of the poetry evening
The readings were opened by the poet Ahmed Imad El-Din, who possessed high imaginative energy and the ability to touch the feelings of the recipients. He first read the poem “An Enduring Silence,” in which he consciously employed his feelings. He does not abandon his idealism, which is his only tool in repelling the arrows of darkness, according to his own poetic equation. And he says:
I will protect myself from what heals my illness
I prolong my silence, for speech is postponed
There is a ghost of the departed telling me
I am an arrow running in the darkness
Poets are not burdened by a coming death
This is because poetry is heavier
The poet Ahmed Imad El-Din continued the reading with another poem titled “Memory,” in which he presents his soliloquy and reveals his tears, with wonderful poetic condensation, and he says:
Silence, the memory of winter and its revelation
And the remembrance and the long, miserable hope
How much he resembles a weight suspended in the sky
In the isolation of loved ones, there is a closed eyelid
Tears are guarded by the imagination of loved ones
Like a cloud, it is driven by the prevailing clouds
The poet Rawda Al-Muttaf, the second poet of the evening, was able – with her rhythms mixed with the fragrance of poetry – to muster her delicate meanings in the first poem that she read, which was titled “The Greatest of Poets,” and she put her own vision of poetry with high symbolism:
Whoever says, “I am a poet,” it will be opened for him
The doors of this house are where the compass is
There are so many poets when you count them
And they are the few.. What a dilemma!
A poem is enough to immortalize a poet
Time passed by his hands and kisses?!
Then I read a poem entitled “And You Are Who You Are,” which is full of contradictory human feelings, and haunted by the momentum of love, in which she says:
All losses except love are empty
Oh, how happy the smells are when someone is possessed
Who weans the heart from the heart it is attached to
Since love has rang a bell in the air
The soul is not addicted unless it is tortured
And every love without torture is studied!
The poet Majed Abdullah, the third poet of the evening, expressed his creative model, through his poetic readings with which the audience interacted. The first poem was titled “This is me, the never-ending hope,” which is characterized by a spirit of optimism in which he says:
The light in my heart and my face is bright
And on my lips, a smile flutters
Aspire to the highest with a dreaming heart
Like a bird in the sky I soar
I walk in the world with the branch of my resolve
Solid, and the door to my optimism does not close
