Of his opinions
Saleh Al-Shadi
Striving for perfection is the practice of true literature, which is impossible...but the honor of trying is a praiseworthy matter...in my poems I try as much as possible to cultivate a kind of optimism and hope, and to light a candle...and it may work or it may not...

I am still in touch with drawing, whenever conditions are created for me.. Drawing for me is like poetry, a means of revelation that I love.

Saleh Al-Shadi
The media as a whole has become clearer and more transparent than before...but specialization is lacking...meaning that we need a journalist who is more familiar with his tools, and with the history of his creation, in order to achieve the desired awareness.
Saleh Al-Shadi
Extremism involves tyranny of opinion and confiscation of the right of others to understand and express...which represents an anomaly from the normal spirit of the group, and a break from the peace of nature. The regionalization of opinion and its unknowing bias may constitute a disagreement with others, or a division from reality. It may deepen hearts and create many types of hatred and hostility.
From his poems
Saleh Al-Shadi from a poem in Al-Fasih
Gaza shouts:
Rest, wake up and see your turn after Gaza..
And Gaza says, “Be careful, people.”
And there will be no firewood on your land.
And do not claim that you are crippled!!
Don't rest today..
And take what you want from an early dream, if you want -
And live..
But before that, treat your wounded cousin.
May the blood of his worries be shed!!
The wind blew..
You know what will happen to the country..
If you didn't extinguish the embers with your hand..?!
Ignoring it doesn't help you..
I notice..
Don't rest.

Saleh Al-Shadi from the poem Minutes of Silence
I am this me
Like sadness in the midst of mourning
normal
Like cheerful ululations of joy
normal
Like the hypocrisy that inhabits all human beings
normal
Like rain
Like the supplications of lavender and rose
normal
Exercise thirty times and do not exercise
This is me valid
This is me, Al-Shadi
But..
very different
Saleh Al-Shadi
Saleh Al-Shadi from the poem The People of Egypt
They robbed you, but the ammunition of the honorable was not deprived.
Hurray for dignity, it runs in your blood.
They deprived you, but the creation of generous people was not taken away..
You worked hard, and you were ascetic, and what, what, how generous of you.
Fethiye, people of Egypt..
from Iraq ..
Hajer Al-Yamamah did not have any companions...
From the lighthouses of our Levant..
From the land of Miraj Al-Buraq..
And from the space of your uncle.
The Arab street in a wedding enriches you..
And in the field, history is written..
The ink flowed from the sweat of the foreheads.
And from the vein of your doves..
Saleh Al-Shadi
