The Distance by Azza Elwakeel

At the age of eleven, Azza El Wakeel wrote in her diary that she wished to become a poetess because poets are capable of expressing their deep feelings and thoughts in a wonderful style. Several years later she discovered that her simple lines could be considered poems - that the texts in her diaries are poetry! All at once, she became a poetess and writer.
Through writing she discovers herself and understands her feelings; she enjoys forming new sentences, playing with words, drawing images and composing inner music between the lines.
Sharing her words makes her happy and she's pleased to leave a mark of beauty on the earth, because she believes that poetry is the most beautiful thing in the world!
