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. Upon writing it, I couldn’t stop weeping. It is written in the form of a cinquain chain, where the last line of each stanza forms the first line of the succeeding stanza. The first line of the poem is also its last. The rhyming pattern with each stanza is ABBCC. May it bless you, Nahum.
Here is a poem that I wrote asking Jesus to help me kill my sin. It is written in the form of a cinquain chain, where the last line of each stanza forms the first line of the succeeding stanza. The first line of the poem is also its last. The rhyming pattern with each stanza is ABBCC. May it bless you, Nahum.
I recently worked for about two months as a freight delivery driver before my promised employment was ruthlessly and unfairly denied me. Delivering freight in the middle of an Australian summer is hard work, but I came to enjoy it and I even bonded well with the people whom I worked with on a day-to-day basis. Here is a poem that I wrote about honey quenching thirst on a hot day in such conditions. It is written in the form of a Vietnamese lục bát, where the odd lines have 6 beats and the even lines have 8 beats. The 6th beat in the odd lines rhyme with the 6th beats in the even lines (if that makes sense!). The 8th beat of the even lines rhyme with the 6th beat of the next line. Finally, the last line of the poem also rhymes with the first line. Enjoy!
