Congratulations!
by Azarin Sadegh on Fri May 09, 2008 05:16 PM CDTMy dear Sheema,
Besides being phenomenal, stunning and gorgeous, your poetry is haunting, and sublimely thoughtful. I am so happy that you have won this well deserved award.
Congratulations also for being nominated for the prestigious Pushcart award.
These are my favorite lines that I had read on your site a while ago and made me get my own copy of your amazing book:
Nothing is all I am,
Nothing overloading nothing,
Closing the doors,
Opening an extra into an empty space,
Nothing ensues but a further war.
Wishing you the best, Azarin

Sheema jan: The mediocre minds; those who are prisoners of deeply perverted indoctrinations of hate will never be able to appreciate your work. Their God is hatred, revenge, and envy; and that is nothing short of poetic justice for their punishment is being 'who they are' and that is enough!
Enjoy your good Karma!
