@eitan Thank you! I understand not liking free verse. I know several people who don’t even accept it as poetry. But that’s the beauty of writing and words… everyone can choose the style they love and that works to get their words flowing into something amazing. I do love the freedom of free verse… it’s aptly named. XD

@anne-of-lothlorien

Your poem is really good!

Personally I don’t like free verse (when writing in Hebrew, I always use strict rhyme and meter, and usually, some music is playing in my head 😉 ), but it definitely has its own advantages – and you used them excellently! Without rhyme and meter that narrow your available words, you can use richer…[Read more]

Oh, thank you so much! (:

I’m Israeli, so the poem is translated from Hebrew.

@kimlikesart

My poems are half for fun or when I get an idea and half spilling my heart out on the paper. 🙂

My sketch is just of a girl in a newsboy cap. She looks slightly like me, so I wanted to use it for my profile.

@anne-of-lothlorien

Yes, I free-verse. (:

I don’t really do poetry for fun. It’s always over deep internal conflict or joy.

I’ll look for something for you. (:

What’s your sketch of?

@kimlikesart

Thank you! Ooh, you do free-verse too? Would you mind sharing some?

Yeah, my profile wasn’t my own work. I do have a sketch I want to use as my profile pic, but I still haven’t loaded it onto my laptop yet. 😀

@anne-of-lothlorien

Your poem was good!

I really like how you went back and gave the same picture, from a different point of view.

I write free-verse too.

(: I was going to ask if you’d drawn your profile, then I read your tag. It’s pretty!

@eitan *hugs* Um, are you a hug person? I am. Sorry if you’re not. 😀 Just wanted to let you know you are not alone and never will be.

What language is this translated from? Is English not your first language? Where are you from? If you don’t mind me asking…

Thank you too so much!

@kimlikesart

Thank you for sharing the verse!

@eitan

It is very good. Though in the desert, and feeling alone, you choose to have faith that God is near. That there will be an end to the struggle. That God has you, and will not let the dry times be wasted.

Thank you for sharing!!!

@eitan

Hi, Eitan. I really liked your poem. It’s very relatable. Thanks for posting it. 🙂

You know, @anne_the_noob14, yesterday I listened a sermon on Proverbs 31. The pastor said that trought that poem God himself was praising godly women. So we his children could/should imitate him on doing that. I think it’s something you did here (and, I belive, I may try too).

@candide She’s awesome 🙂

Thank you!

@sam-m

Thanks! And yes! I read a few poems like that recently which is kinda what inspired me to write this one 🙂

@eitan

Thank you! 😀

Beautiful! I can’t add anything beyond what have been already said 🙂

Great poem, Livi! I feel like it can be easy to ignore the challenges and integrity in other people’s lives and I think it’s really cool when people use a form of art (like poetry) to highlight the heroism in others.
