Best Minarets Poems
Echoes of War
...There beneath the dome of ashen sky
Nary a hint tonight of her favorite stars

The gentle rolling hills
Reach bejeweled fingers into the sea
Spilling the overflow of sparkling lights
Onto fishing boats that dot the horizon

are wholly absent. ......

The sighs of sadness,
And you are a dream

Across mosques' minarets, we hear the prayers
Then descend to hear the mirth of avid card players
