I swore not to tell you while I'm alive
only if you forgot I told you not to
He continued after that and there was a noticeable development that reflects the extent of his passion, interest, culture, grasp on tune, and mastery of them, in addition, to his deep sensibility, comprehensive style, creative ideas, and new metaphors.[2] During his teenage, his father noticed Musaid's tendencies for poetry and advised him not to read poetry, but his poetic instinct was strong. He has many ancient poems that have not been published. Musaid Al-Rashidi grew up in a family known for their poetic tendencies. His mother was a poet, and his uncle and father were also.
