À l’heure du tout à l’image et du buzz sans suite, «l’express» souhaite faire découvrir la plume de poètes, de chanteurs, d’écrivains et de tous ceux qui jettent leur âme sur le papier, et qui mettent en mots des réflexions profondes.

(about the war on 28 February 2026)

The thickness of darkness

The commotion in daylight

Run , run to save lives

The bombing

The shrieking

The retaliation

Mobility restricted

Millions of prayers unheard

Letters and words shake

Loss are metaphors

Similes

Embellishment devices

Keep it plain

How can I bow to Imagination

when the light is at stake?

I’d rather keep it no- gloss refrain

but poignant

Words flowing

from a bleeding heart

Soul grounded to reality

The war is there

Poetry captures the screen- obvious

Reported

From you

Today stems

All I can offer

as a dignified poet

Nothing blurry

Just the Present as it is.
