Sepid poetry is a type of Modern Persian poetry.
The word "sepid" means "white" and it refers to a certain class of Persian poetry initiated by Ahmad Shamloo and came to its mature form and general acceptance after Bijan Jalali.
Sepid poetry is a kind of free verse that departs from the tightly balanced rhythm and rhymes of classical Persian poetry.
For the last two decades of his life, Manouchehr Atashi was also involved in Sepid poetry.
Famous quotes containing the words persian and/or poetry:
“The threadbare trees, so poor and thin,
They are no wealthier than I;
But with as brave a core within
They rear their boughs to the October sky.
Poor knights they are which bravely wait
The charge of Winter’s cavalry,
Keeping a simple Roman state,
Discumbered of their Persian luxury.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
““Poetry’s unnat’ral; no man ever talked poetry ‘cept a beadle on boxin’ day, or Warren’s blackin’ or Rowland’s oil, or some o’ them low fellows; never you let yourself down to talk poetry, my boy.””
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
