The poems in the traditional syllable meter are characterized by love of fatherland, and so are the plays to which he devoted himself from the 1940s ( Yazılan Bozulmaz (1947), Köşebası (1948), Köroğlu (1949), Bir Pazar Günü (1959) and Satılık (1961 )), are rather popular and criticize reformers and western orientation.
