This is the type of poetry middle ground I love. It's not too far away in concept, it's close enough where you have to work for it, but you can still grasp it while feeling something from the stretch.
My favorite poems were
You remind me of my favorite metropolis
Sparkling, loud yet hauntingly sad when the light goes out
Your confidence, a popular skyscraper
Your sadness, an old orphanage
Your anger; a call of riot
Your tears; an uninvited storm
I cannot thank you enough
For reminding m that cities too breathe
And humans too carry a heart of concrete
My bones carry
Calmness and chaos equally
Before every war; I sound
Like peace
After every fall; I rise
A hurricane-shaped masterpiece
Even many one-liners of the poems hit me and resonated, for example:
Our lives swing between
That one day
And someday
So why do you worry about it every day?
and
Everything that is beautiful does not always start beautifully
I think even if you don't like poetry and/or are new to starting it, you'll enjoy this collection of simple Instagram-like poems (she also has an influential Instagram account where she posts poems) while still getting those naked moments of poignancy, like wow
Recommend this short, but meaningful read.

I could sniff her middle eastern soul before finding out her motherland.
I'm still struggling with this kind of poetry. I can't tell if these are quality poems or just beautiful but sentimental and dramatic lines to describe my broken heart and what I'm going through.
But I guess it's the pleasure that counts in the end.

Me reading and whispering WOW at every page I’m reading.
Such a clever way of putting words together to create this well-crafted masterpiece.
Thank you, Noor ( randomly remembered this quote: ‘You are the noor of my eyes, and the sultan of my heart’
