wow, this is DEEP and really good. So many hearts buried in the ground. Well, I just realized I have not only lost all my soupmail but I have no member area and I cannot post poetry anymore or reply to blogs. I sure hope they fix this mess. I hate not having a member area to go to!!!

Taha mentioned of this one to me. But the effect it leaves on the reader is far greater than when read out to you. I really loved it uncle. Thank you for commenting on Black Widow, your comments are always encouraging, dear uncle

Thanks, Husain. You are always very kind. --Mohammad

Thought-provoking piece. The middle line links the other two and is probably the central message if I'm interpreting this correctly. Thank you for your kind comment. Karen

Mohammad Yamin

October 30, 2011 at 7:50 PM

Thanks for your comments, Karen. You can't be more right about the central line. An enlightened comments such as yours gives great pleasure. I am grateful. -Mohammad

The buried hearts will leave mark... the risk for tasting love.. heavy meaning inside a haiku. Greatly written, Mohammad.

Thanks, Dinda for your heart warming comments. Have a nice day. -Mohammad

I like how this poem can be interpreted in different ways. hearts of the dead? broken hearts? both powerful messages. p.s. thanks for your comments :)

Thanks for your encouraging comments Susan. I am so glad you have reached the poem's soul. What else to expect from a talented poet like you? God bless you! -Mohammad

That there is Mohammad. As long as we remember them. Heartfelt Haiku....:)

Powerful message carried in this concise poem. Well done! It was good to see your name in my inbox. Thank you for your kind comment. Hope things are going well for you. Best wishes. Karen

Who are the million hearts in the ground? Are they the departed? Fine haiku! Where can I get a copy of the rubai that you translated? Peace and Blessings Matthew Anish

Mohammad Yamin

August 11, 2011 at 12:10 PM

I must have responded to your comments earlier but perhaps not the question you have posed about who the million hearts are. Matthew, it is the heart of the lovers that perished. Now reread the poem and see what does it stir in your poetic sensibility. -Mohammad

I like the wording of your Haiku. We don't think about these like this very often espcially when we are young. We are taught to respect the graves that are marked but there are many from generations past that are not marked. Keep writing. Sara

August 9, 2009 at 1:02 PM

Much to think about in your words. The title compliments the piece. Keep on writing. Karen

Seems like an Omar Khaym style of poem. It was quite well written and succinct. Yours Matthew Anish

Splendid indeed.... Too great a meaning in too little words. Excellent work... Also, thanks for the encouraging me into poetrysoup... I certainly have a lot to learn from you dear Yamin uncle... Great work once again. Love, HABIB
