Selected Poem - August, 2026
Hasnahena never meets the Sun! by Umme Salma - Australia
I had a heavy hurt, you never got!
Had you got it, it would’ve been a big shot!
I could’ve smiled, I could’ve danced
A dervish in sight, livid and tranced.
I could’ve warmed words and let them thaw
In telling all the untold tales, in one go
Like the ice that slow-melts in the sun
Like the rivers that run fast and turn...
