Poetry Writing
Day after day for fifteen days,
I line up the words on a piece
Of scrap paper, on the computer screen
Without knowing which hemisphere
They belong to; east/west, left/right
For hours, long enough for the words
To pair off with each other
To dance waltz or salsa,
But they defy my imaginations,
Playing hide-n-seek,
And then slyly trotting off
To a runway like foxes.
They are busy waving hands
And swinging hips on the runway
Putting one foot in front of the other
Choreographed to be cool and nonchalant,
Paying scant attention to the struggling
Left hemisphere looking
For pensive gesture
Like putting hands on the chin
And pause in search of prayer
To fill the next line
To win heart’s secret.
How about giving me a break
Without Masquerading
On the runway parading words.
Find a seat and take off those platform shoes,
We have only fifteen days left
And they are all downhill!

Name poem
Aidin
It means peaceful, friendly, honest.
It is the number fifteen.
It is like the sky.
It is meeting with my family and friends.
It is the memory of my grandma Mery.
Who taught me honesty and love.
When she talked with me you need to be attentive.
My name is Aidin.
It means my family is very important in my live.
