Happened to be teaching this today and thought I'd share as it's #PoetryDayIRL . Such a perfect example of a sonnet. My favourite poetic form. For me it's a little firework display of techniques. Amazing what Heaney achieves here in 14 lines.
ہجوم مرگ ہے، عیسی کے انتظار میں ہے
ہمارا عکس بھی سورج کے اختیار میں ہے
کسی فریب سے پہلے کے لوگ لا دو ہمیں
کہ اب نجات، قیامت کے اعتبار میں ہے
(عرفان محمد)

“Change depends on the questions we ask. Always providing we are willing to ask them. And at a certain point, I set out to find those questions.”

I don’t normally post about our other kids on this Twitter account as it’s mostly to highlight Roisins dreams but today being #poetryDayIRL I felt the need to post a poem my son wrote to granny to have forever and ever Amen . 🥰

“Though we live in a world that dreams of ending,that always seems about to give in, something that will not acknowledge conclusion insists that we forever begin.”
Don lá atá ann, seo chugaibh 'Gabhairín' ó #PúcaíSchmúcaí le Gabriel Rosenstock. #LáNaFilíochta #nationalpoetryday #PoetryDayIRL
Una mano che
ti aiuta a rialzarti
è molto più importante
di mille gesti che ricevi
quando sei in piedi.
