Opinions about contemporary Turkish Poetry

Most people around the world apart from those who are interested in Turkish literature  by heart don't know and unfortunately didn't hear of anything about Turkish literature and poetry.In my opinion,it is now time to talk it about through the net among those who wish to hear and a desire to taste it.So,let's start with a short poem of Özdemir Asaf-a contemporary Turkish poet,linguistic and scientist-named as LIFE in which he wanted to describe the shortness of life and emphasize the unbearable beauty of living:

''I suppose that you haven't seen it;

Just passed away through there.

Pretty if you didn't recognize;

It's as beautiful as a butterfly.''
