"It was he who had found and researched the poems
that were made available to me ... who had given the
poet his first knowledge of poetry .. liked my style..."

Poetry, poems, were Orhan Ari's poetic philosophising enjoyed in his circle of poets, friends interested in poetry
by most seen as society's cultured elite -some poets he'd given the first knowledge, love of poetry -inspired poets
Ari used various forms, meters, free verse, didn't favour visually-rhymed poems; in love poems, mystical poetry,
was philosophical, romantic. He saw the good, poetic beauty, romantic symbolism in people, nature, as with love he felt for the world, yet saw hope ~as ilustrate romantic verses here extracted from some of his poems translated |

"Flower of the pomegranate.. a tree you so illuminate..
As a star descended from the skies a tree you ornate,
Like a girl who has only just begun love to taste!"
"Reason is proud; imagination, sometimes, shameless..
Faith, one's faith, of both, the reins has..."
"Neither the sun's risen, nor the moon's down gone,
Even the guardian angels've asleep fallen,
The djinn's everywhere claiming the light,
Destroying, destroying, at man's suffering's hight!"
"Continues the suffering, and continues the wait..
But so long as tomorrows there are, the hope is great!"
