qoslaaye Posted July 14, 2003 WHERE DOES THE BEST SOMALI POETRY ORIGINATE FROM? EAST SOMALIA, WEST SOMALI, NORTH SOMALI, CENTRAL SOMALIA, SOUTH SOMALIA, I THINK WITH NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THE BEST AND ALL SOMALI POETRY ORIGINATED FROM WEST SOMALI KNOWN AS OGADENIA, IT THEN SPREAD TO NORTH SOMALIA KNOWN AS SOMALILAND. ALL THE OTHER SIDES OF SOMALI HAS LITTLE TO DO WITH POETRY OR HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. IF YOU DISAGREE PLEASE PROVE YOUR POINT, INCLUDING NAMING SOME GREAT POETRY FROM WHICH EVER SIDE YOU THINK HAS THE BEST POETRY IN SOMALIA. THANKS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lovely me Posted July 27, 2003 the best somalia poety would be sayid mohamad cabdile hassan althougt i don't know where he is from..... peace out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miles-militis Posted July 27, 2003 Thought this is not a complete list, it should give you an idea as to whom and from which regions Somali poets are. Without a doubt, Sayyid M A Hassan remains the greatest poet of all. My favourites are Osman Y Keenadiid for not only was he a literate but a great observer of the social ills and virtues, and Abdillahi S Timacade for his nationalistic fervour, and Khalif Sh Mohamed for his prowess in translating popular feeling at the height of the start of organised opposition against the military regime. http://www.golkhatumo.com/abwaan.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ladiif Posted July 27, 2003 Qoslaaye, please change your topic to "Who was the best somali poet(s)INSTEAD of which part of somalia they came from. It sound like u asking which Qabiil has the best poets even though that might not be ur intention. Thanks. For the brother who said Ismaciil Mire was the best poet, yes he was a great poet but I doubt if he could even make to the top 10. Og-girl, yes Ina Cabdille Xassan was "one of the best poets" but defintely neither #1 nor #2. The Title #1 poet or best somali poet is a toss-up for 2 men namely, Raage Ugaas and Qamaan Bulxan. Followed by Salaan Carabey, Ina Cabdille Xassan, Cali Dhuux. I believe these were the top 5 poets, the greatest ever!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SHAKA ZULU Posted July 28, 2003 i am the Greatest Somali Poet that ever set a foot on this planet and for those of you who think otherwise then i challenge you to prove me wrong! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
