Poets Have Always Been Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Poets Have Always Been



Poets have always been
Mysteries to me
God-likes
Vague
And

Among them
Hafez, Shakespeare and Pushkin.
"He, " the man told me of Hafez
A publisher in prison
"Was great trickster."
He, Hafez I mean
A poet of fourteenth century
As said the publisher: "Knew of his death, "
So he collected all of his writings, notes, scratches
Selected what is remaining of him…and burned the rest.
True?
Yes and no!
He must have had more
Excess to what we have with us
But burned?
Or lost thanks to different parameters?
We must include the political situations and…or…?
I look at me, an example…a homeless bird…
And thousands of pages and tens of notebooks gone…and…
Many books on different topics…materials…burned by my ex
Thrown into the river out of fear, and gulped by the opportunists…
Hafez's tomb is visited, imitation of his works are made,
And he is always a pioneer to language…he remains.
Shakespeare, presently seen with doubt and as a suspected writer-poet
Was born in a remarkable period of English history,
A relatively extensive and stable political era
Of the Queen Elizabeth I of England.
He could have signed others' works as his.
Pushkin's Queen was Ekaterina.
Pushkin, a man of nineteenth century
Remains the Russian literary language's Father.
Descendent pf Peter's slave, the Abram Gannibal,
Alexander wrote "Boris Godunov"; as a drama
And wrote a poetic story "Eugene Onegin".
His matrilineal is similar to that of the Iranian Pirooz…
In the hands of Arabs; or Tazis.
