Ahhhh! That was so great! I resonated so much with this poem. Especially the lines,

“Habitual failing -I wish I could quit” and

“Make my love greater than my pain,

Help my vindictive soul to change,”

Excellent word choice. 😀

Hey, everybody. Feel free to leave me some feedback on my poem. What do you think I can do better? 🙂

The Snare

The Bible declares that fear of man is a snare,

And this truth matches my experience,

I know it’s real as I’m hearing this.

For a dozen times I can be fine,

And the journey goes pretty well,

But I still think about when I’l…[Read more]

I wrote this poem yesterday, and it’s the first one I’ve ever written in English (not including an attempt when I was 13 or so).

I want to weep

I want to weep until I have no power left to cry,

In Your embrace, I want to wail until my eyes get dry.

‘’It can’t occur’’, You said to me, You voice was sad, not mean,

‘’I long for you, My d…[Read more]

@kimlikesart

I actually ended up using a different, but similar, poem for the contest. Thank you so much for the encouragement! 🙂

I mostly write free verse poetry but I have tried using words that rhyme, but they don’t sound as good as the free verse. They probably don’t sound as good because they were like the first few I ever wrote and I didn’t know the rules of…[Read more]

I have a playlist of Russian worship songs, and I love to put it in random orders, This time, this song happened to be the first. It was amazing and gave me a glimpse of Heaven’s joy… So, I hope it will bless you too!
