Being Natural and Others Poems

"I sort of stumbled onto Mr. Dakir's writing about a month ago while researching something completely off-topic. A few lines of one of his poems was in the content of the search engine, and they grabbed onto me. Though I was short on time, I felt compelled to visit his site. I'm glad I did. I am a fan now. I love his poetry; its meter, simplicity-its honesty. I am a lover of the writings of Jalaluddin Rumi. I can't say that Dakir is there yet, but in 200 years, he might well be. It's lovely that we get to read him now, when he is alive and writing as a contemporary. His short stories are delightful, but as I say, I am taken by his poetry...and poetry is where the heart is. I highly recommend anything by written by him. " Dee Dauphinee American Novelist
