  • Allama Muhammed Iqbal Written by Faisal Hanif by Faisal Hanif, from I-Like-Rhymes
    Most of us, poetry lovers or others, have read Allama Muhammed Iqbal at least some of him somewhere. To many he remained hard-to-understand philosopher poet. Iqbal has written pure poetry too which is equally remarkable. I like Dr Iqbal, one my favourite poets. I find his poetry the most interesting, most intriguing and most touching. It leaves an indelible mark on reader's mind. I vitalize his style also his gift for conciseness and frugality.
The Immediate Need for Poetry•A Voice of Dystopia: Edgar Lee Masters and the Unmaking of Small Town America

    favortie poem

    From guest Megan (contact)
    this is one of my favorite poems ever. i was disappointed to see it in one of the twilight books but then i realized i should be happy because its getting to be well known. i love how this poem really describes human nature and how we will destroy ourselves in angry and fighting but not by turning our back on each other. It has a very deep meaning and i love it (:
