Praise the poets, Moudi. Let us praise their efforts, commitment, learning, teaching, beginnings, faltering, enduring and endings. Let us praise the poets who read their worlds aloud, who read others’ works, who publish and edit and publicise and lose money. Let us praise the winners, the runners up, the wannabes who land on the slush pile, especially them. Let us encourage them with praises to try again. Begin again. Praise again, Beloveds.
Amen to all you said, Liesl. This is just the beginning of praise, and we'll keep singing this song for as long as we can.
Habibis could be used as the plural form, though it's a bit awkward to say. In Arabic you might say "habibati." Although I use habibi as plural, but it's not technically correct.
Oops, sent that too early by accident - also wanted to say I love this poem and you habibi friend 💖 you are pursuing your calling and the world will be better for it.
I love you too habibi, and I am so glad we can share this poetic journey together. I don't have all the details on the little tour, but once I know I'll certainly share <3
Praise Rosemerry for reminding us! What a gem she is. Thank you Erin, our work is in step with each other, like two feet among the crowd carrying the necessity of our hearts.
Alhamdulillah Moudi! Rilke was right and so are you :) Thank you for this ethic to live by. And I agree with all that Liesl has said. There cannot be too much praise.

We could spend our whole lives praising everything we see and not move forward an inch! We are surrounded with abundance <3
