Night, moon and star

The silent moments of devotion
The eyes of a man full of hope
Gazing over the sky

The flow of his lifelong memories
And the days of poetic bliss
all reminiscences now daydreams
form the fountain of his verse
His spirit disconsolate,
Inexpressible by mere words

Only alphabets of love and affection,
serenade the moment for him
The pleasing broadcast of the first-light rooster
delivers hope, optimism, and joy
Oh God your sky so stunning
Oughtn't to be full of roaming clouds
Let it be a shining and inspiring source
a reservoir of joy for solitary souls

Green, red, blue ; a novel written by Afghan writer and novelist  Arif Farman , describing customs, traditions, love, difficulties and struggle in life.

We have entered the loveliest season of the year that we all have been waiting for : summer - a time for holidays and travel, a path to our dreams, and the connection to our best experiences and memories. Trondheim is a city with a very diverse cultural heritage and rich history. A city of differences that provides a variety of options in different parts of the year to celebrate and enjoy. As always in summer, Trondheim is full of entertaining programmes including several music festivals which make the city unique for visitors and tourists to enjoy and explore. Last month, I attended Musikfest Trondheim, a n arrangement of 70 different concerts all over the city, working together to create a p erfect musical mosaic of Trondheim. It was a melodic day with a concert in every corner of the city; in the restaurants, bars, parks and many other public places- a fun and unique festival that brought people together with smiles, dance, joy, and friendship. I felt ...

This is a true moment of joy and happiness to celebrate the publication of our anthology: a two-year poetic journey and the voice of diversity. Høre  hj e mme  is a multilingual poetry book published by Poetry Night in Trondheim defining our share d values and sense of belonging to the humanity. For me, p oetry has always been a lifesaver; in solitude, during times of happiness and joy or in any moment of sadness and suffering. Trondheim P oetry N ight   is a unique platform allowing participants to express themselves in their own language with its musicality and poetic beauty playing a central role to attract the attention of the audience, instead of just the words. So far, the language diversity, participation of poets from around the world and poetry lovers have created a universal language that brings people together to share a moment of joy and make memories. I personally love to start and end my talks by referring to a poem, because I trust that the...
