News from Iran

I draw

I listen to the news about Iran in Persian

I cook

I listen to the news from Iran

These scenes were unimaginable ten years ago

Even five years ago

My contact with my Persian classmates 

Has opened my world to news from them

And news from my land of birth

The news is heart breaking most of the time 

Countries being bombed

People getting injured and dying 

I hope that when the dust has settled

There will be freedom in Iran

There will be equality in Iran

There will be justice in Iran

I draw

I listen to the news about Iran

My heart is with the people of Iran

To write or to draw

 


To write or to draw?
It shouldn’t be a choice
But there are only so many hours in the day
And when something is new
I want to pay the most attention to it
So, I draw in the morning
Sometimes I draw at night
That blank page is so inviting
The possibilities endless
It’s the imagination’s playground
Who knows what I can create
Black and white or colour?
Inspired by something I see on the internet or something within myself
The process is exciting and relaxing at the same time
Exciting to create and see the final result
Relaxing to doodle and draw lines
I’m thankful for the inspiration to write and to draw
