Sufi Poetry

As most students in the class, I was a bit nervous to try and write a Sufi poem because I felt only the poets who’d master this style could produce such a work. I tried to capture the imagery that is so common in many of the poems, using key themes like flight, love, god and death. I actually liked how my poem turned out. I find Sufi poetry to be interesting when it is actually broken down into simple terms in class; the underlying messages can give one a lot to think about when it comes to life, morals and things of that kind.
