Diversity in poetic achievement and adherence to the two halves poem in the experience of the poet Maha Nasr

Damascus-SANA

Spontaneity and music are evident in the poetic text written by the poet Maha Youssef Nasr, who confines her poems to the mediocre, trying to reflect her reality through it, in addition to writing the song and the popular text, but she finds herself eloquent.

Maha said in an interview with SANA: “Poetry comes by nature as a talent that a person is supposed to enrich with culture, reading, meeting and various cultures. A scientific certificate cannot give a talent, but it enriches it. It is not hidden from anyone that the ancient poets are illiterate and do not read, and the phenomenon of improvisation was clear to them.”

Poetry, according to Maha, has different types and forms, but they all branched off from the two halves of the poem, which included praise, satire, pride, wisdom, and other classical purposes.

Maha believes that the diversity of poetry with the development of the era imposed the emergence of new forms, which is the poem Al-Tafeelah, which was clearly manifested in the poets of the resistance and in political and national poetry to be new purposes carried by the poet of this era as his predecessor was defending with his poem the dignity of the tribe.

Regarding her view of spoken poetry, Maha finds that this poem must have image, emotion, music and balance, and express the identity of the region to which it belongs, pointing to the spread of experiences written by individuals who bring weak narratives.

As for the prose poem, Maha shows that it needs high culture, astonishment, image, flash, meaning and the ability to reach the recipient without blurring and hiding behind it.

It considers that poetry, due to the massive entry of the weak of talent, has weakened its ability to absorb social concerns and issues, because the rain competes with the precious, although there are latent talents that deserve appreciation.

It is noteworthy that the poet Maha Nasr wrote the song and all kinds of poetry, and two collections were published for her, "My Pens and My Pains" and "The Magic of Rhymes".
