Hu Erenler

After his retirement, Kocadağ continues to produce as if he had gotten rid of a rock blocking his path. This time, "HU ERENLER" appeared before us with poetic Alevi-Bektashi jokes. As it is known, jokes, jokes, that is, humor, are actually the most serious side of life. Of course, it is more difficult when jokes are turned into poems...

The type of literature that Westerners call "Humour", which we call humorous anecdotes, is also an effective war tool in the fight against evil and wrong. In this respect, it is not in vain that it is said that the Seljuks were shaken by Nasreddin Hodja's jokes, and the Ottomans were shaken by the jokes of İncili Sergeant and Bekri Mustafa. Throughout history, if a despot, tyrant, king or sultan began to be the subject of humor and jokes, his death was always imminent. An example of this that is reflected today is the jokes produced for the fight against the 12 March and 12 September coups. That's why we should take humor seriously...

In short, Orhan Kocadağ is in a difficult situation. Is it easy to establish a partnership between poetry and anecdotes? "HU ERENLER" is a work like Aesop's, Beydeba's fables, or Heter Peter's jokes. May Orhan Kocadağ's path be clear and his pen sharp.
