moroccoworldnews.com - Meknes – Throughout history, poetry has existed as a prestigious art and sophisticated science, yet in recent decades, literature as a whole has been in decline due to the countless social networks, entertainment sites and programs and the increased presence of more modern technology, like smartphones, that have been able to catch the users’ attention entirely.

On one hand, technology has repulsed the identity of literature and demoted the number of intellectuals and bookworms. But on the other hand, they have become a medium that contains a drastic connotation for generating masterpieces of production through a digital format on social media, which has actually incorporated poetry into its advantages, transitioning this form of art into the virtual world.

Since its emergence, users have regarded social media as a public space to poetically share their feelings and opinions. It is taken for granted that social media is an unconstrained outlet for the users to express their opinions and share their daily life’s activities. Poets envisage social media as a stage to deliver poetic ballads and epics with symbolism, rhetoric expressions and irony, aimed at spreading creative awareness throughout the earth.

Current generation’s books are being replaced by electronic devices like smartphones. Fatima Al Hamad, a 33 year-old Kuwaiti architect who has the passion to write poetry, displays her work on social media to transmit her ideas and wake spectators from their hibernation in order to feel poetry’s magnificence.
