(Email) ….. what makes me impressed is the way of dramatic themes and diction of poems. And Alley Boling actually seems a great interpreter and promoter of eastern thoughts too. She seems keenly willing to project the ideas of Afzal Shauq to the brains of different sections of people living in the globe and make them think of equity being  true humankinds. Congratulation to both of the successful book’s presenters.

(On line Comments) ….. the Pashtoon’s region would have that much talent hidden in the valleys of rocky mountains? I never ever thought about it but thanks to the American writer Alley Boling, who unmask  a poet with an  international poetic vision . Salute to this guy for his rich poetry.

(email) …. I can’t explain the words to appreciate the poems of Afzal Shauq. Because I am basically graphic designer in textile but most of poems of his poetry appeal me to read again and again.

(email) …. Few or terms are amazing and un conceivable but most of topics covered are expressed in a moderate and heart catching tracks of poetry, which maybe interesting to readers. As a whole I like the work Alley Boling dear did being a translator of Twist of Fates.

( email ) ….. Hi Mr. Shauq.. Most of your  poems are meaningful and done in a great way but there are still some poems which are creating confusion and do not make any sense. You being the poet of poems may disagree with my point. But if I was the translator, I could have done your poem ‘IDEAL’ as …

 

IDEAL (Re- translated)

 

I asked some one

at the village fountain,

where you could be you found.

She strangely looked at me

And said..

Man “you seem to me mad

Because the girl whom you seek

she's known as a fairy...

and fairies never

keep staying in villages

go and see her in fairy land”

Hope you like it ….

(email) …. I like the book TWIST OF FATES but most of topics and terms are new and I don’t understand well. Any way the work is great and few poems are so impressive and interesting to read.

(On Line Comments) …. Could be more better if the original poems in Afghani language were printed beside each one ..done in English . The diction of poetry and ideas are not bad but debatable. It’s good initiative from the side of west to east. I appreciate A. Boling.

Hope you like it…

 

A PEARL IN MY HEART

 

By Stella Weaver

 

My deserted dream of passion

Crawling between earth and heaven

Safe toward my love and honor,

Has infolded a bright lover

 

How noble in admission,

The author of lust affection!

How infinite in faculty,

The mystery of loyalty!

 

Expressing my full gratitude

Having ignored the solitude

In desire to heaven’s breathe

Sealed with kiss and happiness

(email ) …. Dear Poet, I am terrible at writing . My messages to you will not be eloquent, or pretty, but they will be honest and sincere. You seem to be a great person, a loving soul, with great ideas as a poet. I read through your verses and I think we have much in common, and I’m keen to share ideas with you.
