Hmm. I read it now. I didn’t understand everything, but what I did – It’s amazing! Like, really. You really poured you heart to this… It’s full of sorrow, yet hope. True, He will never forsake us, no matter what, and how painful would be our fall. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing!

@the-inkspiller I’m a little late reading this here, but I just wanted to say that was beautiful. And thank you.

I struggle with some health problems like anemia and also having panic attacks and light PTSD symptoms, and this poem spoke straight to my heart. I know you wrote it for you, but I feel like it was written for me, for a time when I…[Read more]

Thank you guys! Those contrasting lines were the first ones I wrote, in the middle of a sermon at church, actually 😀

@anne-of-lothlorien

I love it!! Especially, like Gracie was saying, how you gave kinda the mirror image of the verses 🙂

@anne-of-lothlorien

Hi, Anne. 🙂 I really liked your poem! I love paradoxes. And I love it when lines in poems contrast and reflect each other -which you did well. Great job on your poem!

@emberynus-the-dragonslayer

Thank you very much!

Hmm, I’ve never thought of Hebrew as beautiful, but maybe it’s because I’m used to it 🙂 The translation is excellent in general, but sometimes it does’t get all the details.

@eitan

Sorry I just now saw this. This is beautiful! your poetry is so vivid and full of emotion. I love it! 🙂

@eitan That’s so cool! I really wish I could hear it in the original Hebrew. It’s a beautiful sounding language, in my opinion.

@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]

@anne-of-lothlorien

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…
