A language of poetry!

In UAE.. actually in all Arab countries, even if you are not really in poetry, you will still know couple of verses and use them occasionally.

For almost any event you may think of, there are several poems about it from different point of views. We, Arabs, often use poetry to document our history, to express our feelings, to enjoy the sweet or sour taste of wisdom or truth. (will sometimes it is sour isn't it?)

I personally have tried to write poetry since I was like 11 or even younger, some people say that my poems are good, some would shake their heads politely and remain silent hehehe.

Arabic poetry has the extensive amount of pictures, music and emotions which are the main factor of any Arabic text, and that's why it's (Arabic Text) most of the time is consisted of many eloquence pictures. Actually that was one of the main strength points that made Muslims believe in Qur'an. Because the Holy Qur'an consists almost 10s of eloquent compositions in every page. Thats why many Arabian people became Muslims just by listening to Qur'an even without discussing any concepts or beliefs, because it rich textual shows that it comes from a higher level than human capabilities.

Honest emotion that is sensed in Arabic poetry usually what draws my attention to it. When I feel that there is actually a human being with feelings behind verses of poetry, it's sure make me believe the lines.. well even they weren't real after all.
