You have a great blog here, and I will be checking back frequently. I'll be looking for the Mahmoud Darwish translation. I've read several of his translated poems before, and I like them, so I'm hoping to read more.

Thanks Rus for linking to my poetry blog! I like linking up with fellow poets and people who love poetry :-)

Just wanted to make quick note: my name is actually M. Shahin. I know it is a little confusing because Ramadan Kareem looks like a name at the top, but I'm actually wishing Muslims a Generous Ramadan this year. Ramadan is the month of fasting for Muslims.

There is another blog I like, which you have in the links "Bud Bloom Poetry" and he also did the same thing. I'll have to post him a note once I leave here.

Also I'm a girl and not a guy. Some fellow poets and other bloggers thought because of my name, I was a guy. It is funny what a name can do.

Thanks again! Best of poetry to you :-D

Hi M. Shahin,

Very nice to meet you. Thanks for leaving your note behind. I like to get all the names right, but sometimes I miss. My apologies.

That Mahmous Darwish poem is in MR Zine here:

MR Zine: Mahmoud Darwish, "Muhammad"

Ramadan Kareem to you.

Yours,
Rus

No problem Rus!

It is really kind of you to link to my blog; I appreciate it very much.

Thanks for the link to Darwish.

I'm going to go read it now. I've read a few lines, and I like it already. He is becoming one of my favorite poets; the list continues to grow.

I'll be checking back later...

Peace :-)
