Yes, it's stunning. You should also visit the place where Meriem is told to have died. It's very close to Efes, on a beautiful mountain. And don't forget to make a wish and tie a piece of cloth on the walls outside

By the way, I heard that this place was burnt this summer, and the fire stopped just before burning Meriem's house. Is that true??

Quoting susie k:

People putting nasty comments under others entries, why lower the tone we are all friends here aren't we?

Which comment exactly was nasty Susie? Friendship has nothing to do with that. If someone is trying to correct a faulse situation by commenting on it, it doesn't mean s/he is your enemy.

As for "lowering"...the only thing that we lower here lately, is the standards and the quality of these webpages.

Quoting aenigma x:

Your poem would not be Turkish poetry if it was written in Turkish - sorry . To be Turkish poetry it would need to be written by a Turkish poet with Turkish as the original language. Why not stop this argument and just move to off-topic?

Bravo girls! I couldn't agree more.

Quoting Elisa:

Errm, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this section meant for TURKISH literature and poetry and recommendations?

There is an off-topic section in case you feel the need to produce some poetry yourself

Quoting kai:

Ah yes now I remember! Bulgaria to the northwest, Greece to the west, Georgia to the northeast, Armenia, Iran & the Nakhichevan exclave of Azerbaijan to the east, & Iraq & Syria to the southeast. WOO!! Nicely remembered Joey!

Oh honey, you should be congratulating yourself, not Joey. You remembered all those things correcty and so detailed that I think that if we gave you a paper, you would be able to draw Turkey's map with the mountains and the rivers in it.

Aferin sana kiz!

Quoting lady in red:

Quoting hmmm:

for kai = just wonderin, you said in another forum that you could translate in a bunch of languages for everybody else. so why cant you translate your poems yourself?

Actually I was wondering that too kai! lol

Hmmm...probably due to 3 reasons:

1)Her knowledge in the other languages is limited (which I think she explained in a different thread, although in some other thread she said that she found it easy to swear perfectly in Turkish

)

2)Cause translation was a suitable excuse to post a poem of her own

3)Cause she was bored at 05:12 or 05:14am

Oh well! I don't know! I m confused!

Wonder - Megan McCauley

Midnight workings, weather down the storyline
I try to find the truth between all the lies
When Bleeding is feeling and feeling ain't real
Will I see you when I open my eyes?
Will I see you when I open my eyes?

When Breathing's a burden we all have to bear
And trust is one thing we're taught never to share
Somehow you just seem to shine
When loving means breaking and saying goodbye

(Chorus)
And I can't help but wonder what it is you do
You help heal the pain, and the thoughts of the truth
You're a question to the universe, a wonder to the world
And somehow, when I'm with you, I never get burned

Caught in a trap of what we're taught to believe
When night overcomes day, life's so hard to preceve
And the clock keeps on ticking through night-shattered skies
Where the stars are all broken, and so are all the ties
But the one thing remaining is you
When I'm broken and bleeding, you pull me right through

And I can't help but wonder what it is you do
When you help heal the pain, and the thoughts of the truth
You're a question to the universe, a wonder to the world
And somehow, when I'm with you there's nothing I'd rather do
Than be right there
To escape my own life and all my fear
And I cant feel
Am I really real?

Come and wipe all my tears
Come and wipe all my tears

And I can't help but wonder what it is you do
You help heal the pain, and the thoughts of the truth
You're a question to the universe, a wonder to the world
And somehow, when I'm with you...
I can't help but wonder what it is you do
You help heal the pain, and the thoughts of the truth
You're a question to the universe, a wonder to the world
And somehow, when I'm with you, I never get burned

I think we have something to celebrate today, don't we?

Quoting Trudy:

I think those might fast strict but not as it was meant to be.

Eh at least they DO fast. We say we do, while having fun at a restaurant, eating delicious sea food :-S

Quoting libralady:

So what about fasting then??

Fasting, in every religion, is something you do for your own purification and to praise God. I don't believe that those who don't fast believe in God less than those who do.
But hey, tell me about those who, although they fast, they keep thinking of food and sex all day? Most of us, when we fast, we keep missing the food that we can't eat, the drinks that we don't drink and the sex that we don't (hopefully) do. And we can't wait for the day that the fast will be over, to go back again to our routine. Isn't that a sin?

Our (Orthodox's)fast, doesn't set a timetable. I mean, a fast is 24 hours a day, but you are allowed to eat certain kinds of food and avoid all the other 'sins' that were mentioned referring to the muslim's fast. For example, you can't eat meat, eggs, cheeze, milk and anything that comes from animals. You can't eat oil, etc. And the reason for all those, is to live simply, avoiding everything that gives pleasure, for those few days. But you CAN have seafood or spaghetti with tomato sauce, or pizza with soya cheeze, etc.

The result...all the fish restaurants are full, the McDonalds as well, selling vegeterian burgers and people do whatever they were doing before the fast, with a slight change in their menu.

Muslims, on the other hand, are fasting till evening, but thinking and missing what they will do after iftar and what they will eat during iftar.

I really don't think that this is the way fast was supposed to be in both cases. We MUST have missed something, during the centuries. And most of all, we have missed out the real purpose of fast and faith...
