10 out of 10

 

Poems https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/01/if-by-rudyard-kipling-one-of-most.html like If, or some by George Cosbuc are delightful, although they can also be taken down, mocked, changed, or become the subject of comedy, like the famous – I thought it is one of the best known, only it is no longer thus – If

 

I saw a stand-up act in which ‘If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs’ from Rudyard Kipling (he was also so popular, you could think he was like a pop star for our age) is given a different interpretation, one in which you have to have your head examined, if everyone else is ‘losing theirs’

Evidently, the original meaning was a lesson in Self Esteem, before we could read the quintessential Six Pillars of Self Esteem https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/07/six-pillars-of-self-esteem-by-nathaniel.html by Nathaniel Branden…the Poems of George Cosbuc would also improve your mood, though the chance of you reading

 

This, or any of the oeuvres are as slim as AI killing humanity, except the latter is estimated to be 10%...my favorite is Doar Una, translated as Just One, for it offers the image of a beautiful woman, with long hair, modest, she has a black apron, the ‘narrator’ is sick when this slim girl has a suitor, and when he does not see her

I also use lines to laugh with my mates at the club, when they point out that I talk too much, in the poem, they spend three hours, she eaves and he just pretends and stands there looking until she is could not be seen anymore; the style is of curse everything, and it is all Lost in Translation https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2026/06/lost-in-translation-written-and.html lie in the Sofia Coppola motion picture

 

There are other wonderful poems, one, El Zorab, used to be so popular that it received an ‘adaptation’, if an absolutely rude one, indeed, in time, you could not say El Zorab, because the others though of the version where the protagonist is f***ed and the lines contain expletives and the horse, the man have been transformed

Petrarque is another favorite of mine, I find again a combination of humor and inspiration, the message in one sonnet is ‘I dedicate the rest of my life to God’, which if I recite to my colleagues at the club downtown will provoke merriment https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/01/selections-from-canzoniere-and-other.html

 

Poetry should be part of the ritual, ‘we are what we regularly do, excellence is not an act, it is a habit’ supposedly, that was said by Aristotle, and we read in modern books about how important it is to acquire Atomic Habits https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/05/atomic-habits-easy-proven-way-to-build.html

In The Fade aka Auf Dem Nichts, written by Hark Bohm and Fatih Akin

  In The Fade aka Auf Dem Nichts, written by Hark Bohm and Fatih Akin In The Fade has won the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Film, although in this cinephile's opinion, Una Mujer Fantastica- which has won the Oscar in the same category- Nelyubov or The Square would have been better choices. Having said that, Auf Dem Nichts is a very good, significant, remarkable feature, that attracts attention to violence against minorities, in this case the Kurdish community in Germany. It is therefore not one sided, we do not have only Muslim lunatics killing innocent "infidels", but also some extreme Europeans murdering the other side. The problem is that, unacceptable, horrifying and vile as these acts are, it appears that the overwhelming majority of atrocities are committed by zealots acting in the name of Islam- radical and unrepresentative as they are for this supposedly peaceful faith, although there are passages in its holy book that seem to insist on a violent jihad and ultimat...
