Waqooyi Somali Galbeed = Nation of Poets

[somalee]

Waa hoyga suugaanta, hiddaha iyo dhaqanka. Maadaama qofka bina aadamka ah waxa ugu weyn ee xikmmadiisa lagu qiyaasi karo tahay af tahannimadiisa iyo hal abuurkiisa. Waxaa la odhan karaa bulshooyinka ugu horeeya xagaas waa kuwa waqooyi iyo Soomaali galbeed ku nool.

In my opinion when Somalia is often referred to as ''Nation of Poets', it's only because of the aforementioned communities.

Dood wacan.

Poetry in this context is gabay. I think 'buraanbur' widely practised in the South is also a form of poetry.

I also like to hear this style of Gabay its called Guurow

Bro, I was only interested in the nickname 'Nation of Poets' and it's emergence. Whenever poetry is discussed, mostly personalities from these communities are cited. With regards to suugaanta, I only said waa hoyga suugaanta.

Gabay can be divided into 4 sections geeraar and maanso afaray Gole ka fuul mostly done in Somaliland and galbeed and guurow&shirib mostly done in Southern Somalia , while buranbur is strictly for woman all over the Somali peninsula.
