Eight Micropoems by Hiba Abu Nada

We are in  Gaza before God,

Between an martyr and a witness on the Liberation, 

and we are all waiting for where we will be,

We are all waiting for your promise of truth!

□

If we die, 

know that we are content and steadfast, 

and let them know that we are the righteous! 

□

Whenever a line is crooked on the map of Palestine 

Between the cities, the bullets are corrected. 

Eraser for kids, cities correct mistakes with bullets,

Gaza for example. 

□

The wish that we, the people of Gaza, 

Know; Everyday I used to choose your senses, 

why am I wearing a jilbab and you wearing a shoroud?

An the occasion has changed!

I'm going to die and you're going to heaven! 

What a loss, I wish we together! 

□

When we go to our Lord, 

we will tell him to answer at 

the Arabs and the brothers in 

the second division of the homeland first. 

□

It's like this, we are all in a open field,

Snails are exhausted from the siege 

and death carries a huge barge and waves 

it at us left and right, 

We all die and the field is empty and the Snails fly!

□

This night will be difficult we will be cut of them 

all the causes of the earth, 

and we will not be cut off from the causes of the sky,

In God's farewell Gaza one by one.

□

No time for big funerals and proper goodbyes, 

No time for much time,

There's a sensational rocket coming, 

We'll settle for a sneaky kiss on the forehead 

and a quick goodbye and wait for the new death,

No time for goodbyes...!

Three Micropoems by Shafkat Aziz Hajam

Came Down 
A boulder came down a hill lock 
It slipped over a big rock 
And it blocked the way 
From school kept me away 
As to school I couldn’t walk.
□

I Thought 
My brother asked for a cup of tea 
I prepared for him as I was free 
I thought he would feel nice 
He asked for water thrice 
No sugar! Chillies I’d put into the tea!
□
No Reason
There is a man with long stiff moustaches 
With them his front body he scratches
Once he scratched his son 
He’d no reason else than fun 
Now his whole body has band aid patches.

Three Micropoems by Eva Petropoulou Lianou

Peace

Fear of being unhappy

Without education

Without respect

Without empathy

We will be only slaves to manipulation!

□

Greece

The daughter of the sun

The daughter of the sea

Greece

The home of every spiritual souls

Come back to the Light

I forgive you

You forgive me!

□

Problems

They are created because

Irresponsible people

They believe they can change future with

Money and force!

Four Micropoems by Mir Samsul Haque

Sameness 

Same space

Same sunlight 

Same earth

As of now...

Same night. 

Same moon

And this sameness in shambles!

□

My Own Shadow 

My unrestrained tears telling

A turbulent story

That I'll stay forever alone with my hurt

On the time's steps, Im incapable of recognize my own shadow!

□

Recall 

How long should I pursue

My pseudo passion

I feel this deeply

My self is same but in shame

When I recall your name!

□

Desires

I'm a dreamer

My desires will never die

My hope lies

Above the ochre dust

Where despair dies!

Five Micropoems by Sabyasachi Nazrul

Suddenly

I am walking alone in the shade one night, 

Walking and wondering when the sunrise will be

Suddenly! Who is this newcomer in white clothes? 

The moon peeks out from behind the clouds. 

□

Old Crying 

In the grave of an old child next to a hundred years cemetery, 

Old mosque or in the middle of the night, 

The sound of crying is coming

Animals still crying in the flower gardens!

□

War

The roads were supposed to be 

Snowed under the rubble, but where! 

Being fired, bullets are raining down

Weapons are ringing, who won?

□

Fasting 

If I fast and pray 

I will be happy, 

The Lord will reward me

With best gifts 

Progress and regress. 

□

I Want Peace 

I do not want war, 

I want peace, peace and peace 

We want peace, 

We want a world of peace!

Six Micropems by Jatinder Aulakh

Wave

Don't say me 

goodbye!

I am ocean 

and 

you are a wave,

You will have to 

come back

In my arms!

□

Mirror

They Said that we don't

Want to see your face.

I replied, "I have no face,

I am a mirror". 

□

Newspaper

Reading the newspaper 

in the morning

And waiting for a cup of coffee

Is like exploring the world at home.

□

Light

Demon of past

Forced me to slavery

Of unfavorable and 

Unpleasant concerns.

A prodigious light

Came upon me

To unchained my spirit.

I am unconstrained now.

□

A Sage in Contemplation

A Banyan tree standing quite

Wind blows and leaves play music

Birds come to spend the night.

I can't understand his dialect.

I can just watch

A sage in deep contemplation

From ancient ages.

□

Restive Souls

I am laying

in the open courtyard 

looking at the flying clouds,

In dim light

A flying bird appeared on the sky, 

Suffocated night 

And some loafing

Restive souls.

Three Micropoems by Rajeshri Senapati Gogoi

An Unfelt Promise

Love is an invisible force

Whoever burns feels life

An unfelt promise

who tells everything 

In a silent way!

□

Feelings 

Passion know we see

The best and most beautiful things in the world

It cannot be seen or touched, 

But 

The heart only can feel!

□

Hide and Seek 

I want to blossom into a beautiful memory 

in your heart

With the toras of the blue sky

I want to play hide and seek, and get lost

A lonely night, when a tired mind wants to rest

Will you respond with your hands outstretched

I'm tired and want to rest today, by your side!
