Peace, one and all…
1. History
Last year end of May, Sadiq Alam and Tiel Aisha Ansari jointly hosted the 1st Edition of Online Sufi Poetry Carnival. The idea of a Blog Carnival is a collection of blog posts/ site links on a specific subject/ theme. I am happy to announce that the 2nd Online Sufi Poetry Carnival will be jointly hosted here (along with Sadiq, Tiel and the Court of Lions).
2. Theme
The past round’s theme was “Celebrating Divine Love” and this time around it is “Knocking from Inside”.
I’ve lived on the lip of bewilderment,
wanting to know reasons,
knocking on a door.
It opens.
and all these times
I’ve been knocking from inside.
Adapted by Coleman Barks.

Beautiful theme, and I love Barks words!
The piece that I use as my avatar is entitled “looking out, from within”
I look forward to reading all about this poetry carnival.
Good and creative energies to you!
