His Poetry: The poet Mufleh Tabooni dealt with the literary text in poetry and prose over five decades.

In an interview with the poet Muflih Tabooni, “Considering the prose poem in terms of technical aspects and not the poems that are different from it, is nothing but a decline in controversy that inevitably leads to a dryness of logic. And in the era of modernity and post-modernism, we cannot help but perceive the goal with our senses and lenses that capture poetic images. They pass, my interlocutors, the reputation of the prose poem to highlight the honor of the activation poem, just as it happened with the activation poem when it appeared to install the traditional vertical poem.
From the sayings of Al-Tabouni, our creative Palestinian words in most of them emit the scent of their perfume in our plains and valleys, over our hills and the tops of our mountains. It blends with our flowers, identifies with our comforts and joys, and is governed by communication with all the decree above the pages of honesty, honesty, openness and symmetry with giving. We did not live far from heritage, nor did strange theories and fat ideologies keep us away from our heritage and its contents... We did not sanctify what came from the West, but rather had dialogue with it and benefited from it in order to preserve our heritage and historical extension, we communicated with our positive cultural heritage, and our openness to Western cultures keep us away from our heritage.
He was one of the writers who contributed to the establishment of the Arab Writers Union in the country. But he stood out more as a poet.
