which make them stand out. Of course, sometimes
novelty comes with flaws. Those the poets of the
older generation who have been around for a long
time should encourage this novelty of younger
generation, along with pointing out flaws.
We should discourage novice poets from
adopting existing styles and encourage them to
express themselves in their own style. In short, we
should inspire them to express themselves freely.
In this regard, one can notice the originality
and novelty in Zakir Fakhri’s “Songs about Gara
Melik”:

Wild ashug’s saz
Moaned wildly.
That day
all villagers listened
to saz wildly.
They went asleep wildly.
Saw dreams wildly.
They saw that
All were wild,
each on a horse
Terrifying the black fears.

In the example above one can envisage
everything clearly, since Zakir’s heroes are lively
and unique. It is no doubt is the best feature of his
poems. It worth noting that the poet’s ability to
express himself clearly is highly interconnected
