Abresh, I appreciate your spicy work you have shown us in your “Ekera Haramaya” and

“Singiggoo” poetry books. Since you get far we couldn’t getting your additional or revised works.
Ekere Haramaya had existed on market for very few time and towns. It could be influential if it
could rich wide area of the country. In this pocket sized poetry book I frequently use many poems
in my class of poetry course. In addition to poetry course, I use the scientific implications of
following dialoged which made between Foon (Flesh) and Lubbuu (Soule) for critical reading and
text analysis.

Foon: Ekeraa! … Ekeraa! Maalinni Ekeraan Haramaayaa?

Lubbuu: “Ekeraan Haramaayaa Dubbisi!”

Foon: Cidhi bana sunihoo?

Lubbuu: “… Dubbisi!”

Foon: “Kamiin ta’ee bulu?”

Lubbuu: “… Dubbisi!”

Foon: Qaamota miirasaa maaliif gabaa baase laata?

Lubbuu: “… Dubbisi!”

Foon: “Dubbisees na dide”

Lubbuu: “… irra deebi’ii dubbisi!”

I use also “EELAA” which has miracle meaning and implications.

Know, in what conditions you are dealing with your poetic gift works. What additional
publications you have? Or on the way to publish?

from your original effort. If you produce more, you contribute more for the development of Oromo
Literary development. Therefore don’t get off. Write me your opinion and send me what you think
