Bio...
Yasser
Kashef was born in 1989, in Alexandria, Egypt. He is studying English
linguistics and translation at Alexandria University. Being a son of an
Alexandrian mother and an Asswani father grants him a flexible character that
enables him to deal with various cultures and thoughts. He started to write
Arabic poems at the age of eleven. In 2008, he wrote his first English poem Death Life and then followed it
with more than 15 poems. He won the third place in Renaissance Group Poetry
Competition for his poem Schizophrenia in
2010. Furthermore, his poem Africa’s
Son bestowed him the first place in the same competition in 2011. He
is interested in drawing, traveling, and photographing. Sugarcane is
considered as his first short story.
A sample poem...
A Pure Princess
You can see the heavens in her eyes blue,
Shining with innocence silvery hue.
Her spirit is transparent like wings of a fairy,
And her imagination is a fruitful tree of berry.
Her heart is a cradle for love and mercy,
And her words turn your life to be fancy.
Of evil and negatives,she has a dearth,
As if she is an utopian angel on Earth.
She is willful,like free wild unicorns.
An attractive rose with brilliant thorns;
A sun of a galaxy between unimportant dark moons;
The daughter of Mercury and one of God's boons;
A pure princess wears a crown and a dress in white;
Meet her for a minute and your future will be bright.

says…
If you are interested in poetry, drawings, sport, cinema,
horoscopes or music I will be the one you look for.
Do not imitate me because my character is unmatched
like fingerprint.
Do not treat me according to others treatment, just
treat me according to my treatment to you.
Praying and fasting are duties, but piety and
religiousness are something else that needs more efforts.
A true friend should help you to see yourself
honestly, but not to run away or give you the cold shoulder.
I adore cold showers in winter. I like okra so
much. I hate tea so much. I like any new strange thing. Music runs in my blood ♫
