Universal feeling and a special finesse: Mirko Gashi's poem "Riverside".
Mirko Gashi (1939–1995)

From: Timo Merkuri

Mirko Gashi was a Kosovar poet, known for his special talent and his fine verses, filled with art and sensitivity. With a bohemian life and creative spirit, he managed to create a strong connection with his readers, gaining wide admiration during his lifetime. His poetry Riverside embodies some of his artistic traits and poetic delicacy.

1. Poetry stands out for expressiveness and laconicism, where its lines are short and compact, where every word has weight and meaning. Through the phrase how short the distances are, the poet creates a sense of emotional closeness despite the physical distance.


2. Gashi uses personification and a sensitive vividness of imagery to bring elements of nature to life. When the guitar strums / the river boils makes the river seem to react to the sound of the instrument, creating a poetic and melodic atmosphere.

3. The moment when the puhiza "wakes up" from her lover's hair and "releases the reins" contains an emotional sensitivity, a delicate feeling of love and care, illustrating a deep and intimate connection between nature and human feelings.

4. The river serves as a symbol of life and the flow of feelings, while the guitar and the flute reflect the emotions and art that animate this flow. The poet creates a harmony between human and natural elements.

5. The verses are constructed with aesthetic care, giving a sense of calmness and beauty. Their fluidity and musicality are distinctive features of Gashi's style.

So, in this poem, Mirko Gashi manages to express universal feelings with a special finesse, combining the art of verse with human sensitivity.

He is a poet with thin and spiritually tense feelings that, however easily touched, create melodious poems that are easily set to music and sung with the guitar.

EDGE OF THE RIVER

How short the distances are
sometimes
to the river bank

When the guitar calls
the river boils
the fish's voice was exhausted

You for beauty
wakes up the puffy
sleeping in his girlfriend's hair

and lets go of the reins
