hello everyone,
So for some context my daily language is "Tunisian derja", and my media diet is almost exclusively french and english. I literally haven't studied, read, or written in standard Arabic since BAC exam (High school) about 4 years ago (and I actually hated it).
The other day I was incredibly bored and my brain just randomly came up with this first short piece of poetry/wordplay. I ended up writing a second one right after just to see if the first was a total fluke.
Quick disclaimer: The concepts, words, and wordplay are 100% mine. I only ran the text through an AI to add the Tashkeel so it looks right and reads properly
I'd love to hear what you guys think.
Piece 1:
دَرَيْتُ أَنَّ لِلدِّرَايَةِ دَرْبًا، فَمَا لِي لَا أَدْرِي مِنْ دَرْبِي غَيْرَ الدِّرَايَةِ؟
فَلَعَلَّ الدَّرْبَ لَا يُفْضِي إِلَى درَايَةِ، بَلِ الدِّرَايَةُ أَنْ تُدْرِكَ أَنَّكَ الدَّرْبُ.
Piece 2:
فِي بِحَارِكَ أَبْحَرْتُ، وَبِحِبْرِي أَخْبَرْتُ.
فَمَالِ أَمْوَاجِكَ تُحَارِبُنِي، وَمَا لِي فِي بِحَارِكَ مَا رُحِّبْتُ؟
