Raweh D'Awahathan Taweh

This is the first original book of (Raweh) poetry resembling Haiku in Assyrian? Aramaic language. It addressed all aspects of life with as reflected upon by the author. Raweh is form of a sung poetry. The entire poem is one stanza of three lines, each line must be completed in 7 syllables only. There are very few documented data and publications about Raweh. The Assyrians in the Mountains of Hakkari would get together and recite each stanza in a strong mountaineer voice with no music. Topics were about war and love. This form of poetry goes back for decades although we do not know the exact timing. The only other nation that share this kind of poetry that is very close to Raweh is Japan (Haiku), which also comes in 3 lines but 5,7,5 syllables in each stanza. I always wonder if there is any link between the two nations through this kind of poetry. This is my humble attempt to preserve and revive this form of poetry, expanding it into areas not cited before such as social sciences, nature, economy, science, history, religion, and politics.
