Here is a Quatre-par-Huit (Four-by-Eight) poem to welcome our Siren home. May you have some peace
in your life and in your country. This is only my second attempt at this form. I hope it meets with your
approval.
Each Cherished Line
Dani alone
in strange new places which condone
a level of barbarity and hate for those
who don’t comply with their beliefs. Replacing beauty to impose
their way of seeing things that differ from the prophet’s laws. They chose
conceptions which blaspheme the one they hold divine.
Mohammad left a life’s design;
each cherished line.
