New Birth, a Micropoem by Houda Boukassoula

Every New morning is a new birth
Let every fraction of a second 
Bring to your life some mirth
Expect dawn to burst light 
into your heart
Whatever the darkeness prevailing
in your sky.

Micropoems by Houda Boukassoula

Without Feathers
A dispassionate dream
That flies without feathers
Looking for a better somewhere
Where a bird and a fly 
Share with jets the same sky!
Breathe 
Breathe love 
in with all your senses
Let them taste all its senses
In your life
lengthen its presence
Never breathe it 
in reverse!
Daddy
The day You left 
I was only eight
Still unable to forget
How I acquired self reliance
When you suddenly left
Without leaving a reference!
