Today I wrote a poem that’s based on 2:16 of The Song of Solomon, “I am my Beloved’s and He is mine”. It reflects upon being painfully rejected by my family of origin, but taken in by Jesus, and upon writing it, I couldn’t stop weeping. It is written in the form of a quintain/pentastich chain, where the last line of each stanza forms the first line of the succeeding stanza. The rhyming pattern with each stanza is ABBCC. May it bless you, Nahum.
