Orhan Veli Kanik Poems

Is this sea as bautiful as this everyday?
Does the sky look like this all the time?
This furniture, these windows,
...

We have seas, filled with sunlight
We have trees, filled with leaves
Day and night, we go back and forth,
Between our seas and trees,
...

You break school,
Hunt birds,
You go to the seaside and
...

I

Although the roads are so lovely
And the night is so chilly
...

This family had a puppydog
Curly and kinky;his name was Dingdong - he died.
They had a pusscat too: Cerulean,
...

I stare after the departing ship;
I can't throw myself into the sea, world is beautiful;
There is manhood inside, I can't cry.
...

Chances are, at this moment,
On a lakeside
Near Brussels
He's thinking of Edith Almera.
...

In my dream, I saw my mother dead.
My waking up, in cries,
Reminded me of the time I was crying
Looking at the balloon I let slip to the sky
...

You say if only this fight ended,
If only I never got hungry,
If only I was never tired,
If only I never wanted to pee,
...

Who started the rumor
That I have a crush on Süheyla?
I dare you to tell who saw me
Kissing Eleni
