You remind me of Anele , when I joined EC. I had published some blogs they were full of grammatical mistakes and hardly read .She encouraged me continually saying me” you are a good writer “and I believed in her opinions of me ,ever since then her encouragements were led me a step by a step. Shortly afterwards , I found myself good at writing. when I say good at writing that means comparing with my first time here . contrary to expectation you may find many grammatical mistake in my comments till now. But I always try to overcome my faults because I am just a keen learner.

Now ,you say that “I am a poet “maybe I have poet’s sense, passion , love but to say truth ; personally , I can’t write poems correctly , but surely I believe your sayings. I will do my best to meet your expectation as I did with my old friend Anele.
You ll be always as warm as toast in my page.Thank you dear.

Comment by Prostomolotova Galina on August 19, 2012 at 14:03: Wow! Tawfeeq! I've just seen this poem! It's marvellous! Is it your first poem ( at least here on EC)? Your previous works are written in prose, but infact they are poems. And this one is a real poem. It sounds so musical, it it has its own rhythm.

And, of course, it's so expressive, so touching! I've already told you that, without any doubt you have a sound and feel of poetry. You have a wonderful ability to see the world in a new way, in an unusual way, from a strange point of view. It's great! And when you express your feelings in such a way, it's like a miracle for me! Thank you! Keep it up!

Comment by tawfeeq on July 15, 2012 at 11:32: Poetry, expression of emotions manufactured by heart in the form of words. I reckon each and every human must have had the experience or at least the drive or the appetite to write poems occasionally. As I do . Poem has a hidden meaning , with nice rhythm , and best portrait like yours can be the best way to convey feelings .

When I sent my poem to you ,I thought that poem needed further elaboration from me to make it understood poem . but you grasped its meaning well.

This is my first poem in English . are you a poet Anele? Thank you so much .

Comment by Anele on July 15, 2012 at 2:07: Really..........the picture speaks a thousand words! It vividly interprets something to take away ambiguities......

Although your blog before this was narrated poetically, I believe this was your first poem that you published in EC, right?

Comment by tawfeeq on July 14, 2012 at 10:54: Anele ,,,,,You have already commented on my poem when you choose a very suitable design for it .Your design, is a poem by itself too .A man so lonely waits endlessly for the rain , but his dream drifting away until they can be seen no more , even ever since he feels in vain .

Regardless of what one takes from these image , I feel you are successfully manage to discover the core of this poem , and the meaning of in vain .

Comment by tawfeeq on July 14, 2012 at 10:51: Hala , Really, I like your interpretation too , since in Arabic culture ,the rain is a sign of pleasure and good .people who live in desert land, always wait the rain , because rain is life .

It is right to say ,love makes feeling shines good things inside us . when a man is on fire of love, he becomes just like the incense .the smell of burned incense is very pleasant because of fire .

I am very pleased indeed to receive your comment .many thanks Hala .

Comment by Anele on July 12, 2012 at 20:27: Great interpretation, Teacher Hala........! I also believe that a person who loves wholeheartedly but whose feeling is not reciprocated is not living in vain.

The title must be referring to the shattered feeling of a brokenhearted man..........it may be in vain for the moment but it's only for a fleeting moment. Love always works wonderfully even for the unloved.

The poem successfully elicits the state of a man's ego when his desire is unmet. Really touching...........I am glad that you like the design I chose for it!

Comment by Hala J.M on July 12, 2012 at 16:33: The metaphor that you used in your poem is really great ,describing love as a rain ..the dry land waited the rain and the dry heart waited to love and be loved ...

I think the great feeling that makes you write this poem can't be in vain ... If any feeling shines good things inside us so it's not in vain ..

Thank you Tawfeeq for sharing these precious lines.
