Sufi Poetry

I do not often like to read poetry but with the Sufi poetry it was not difficult or painful to read. I liked the sufi poetry because i found it to be enlightening and inspiring. I liked that the dominant themes were life and love. I did not find the fact that poetry was also very religion related to be much of a problem, in fact most of the time it didn't register with me that they were religious because the poems often applied to many subjects. They were also easy to read because they were not very long. I also enjoyed the use of symbolism and metaphors because it allows the reader to put more thought into the poetry and possibly come up with more then one meaning.
