"A great poet, a really great poet, is the most unpoetical of creatures. But inferior poets are absolutely fascinating. The worse their rhymes, the more picturesque they look. The mere fact of having published a book of second-rate sonnets make a man quite irresistible. He lives the poetry he cannot write. The others write the poetry that they dare not realize." -Oscar Wilde

Oh man! That was about the most random thing I've read in ages.
I don't want to be discouraging, Mehrdad, but I'm kind of curious what was going on in your mind when you were writing this.
Dear Siamak,
For sure I won’t consider it discouraging.
I usually get one or two comments like this on weekly bases from other friends.
You might say I should get the hint and stop talking or writing. Well that’s true and I might do it one day, but first I should stop thinking …
About this post, it is hard to put it in word. I have bunch of known and unknown in my mind. I usually try to simplify them like “strange Friday”. However when it gets to a higher order, it becomes complicated (even for me). I agree if you don’t see any relation between “Strange Friday”, “Esfand” and “Home (Country)”. Almost every word has a history behind and it is the way I am.
Thanks again,
If I get more comments like yours, I try to explain my “Esfand” more.
