SHABBOS- A Poem:
Dressed and ready, quiet and steady, we wait for the queen to arrive.

Peace spreads through our home, creating a tone that cannot be described.

A silence and beauty that gives off a truly, wonderful, magnificent feel,

Of happiness and love, from the Great One Above, celebrated with a great meal.

The time that we spend with family and friends is something we all will save,

Within our hearts, so when we’re apart, the feeling will never fade,

A time to be grateful, pleasant and thankful by rejoicing in harmony on this holy day,

Lifting our spirits and filling the minutes with stories of our fathers from back in the age,

Food that we share, to all that are near and may come knocking on our door,

Indulging in pleasure, of all that will meaure up in Shamayim which will restore,

Many wrongs we have done, to the Nobel One, and one day Hashem will grant,

Yes, one day He’ll give us a chance to live and enjoy the Shabbos in His holy land…

I am in love with this piece, hope you will too.

So now that you are all getting to know me better-I had better warn all of you out there that I am a complete and total junkie for poetry-seriously, I cannot get enough of it. I can be awake at 3:30 am going like: "I'm bored-here's an idea-I'll read a bit of poetry"-So yeah, I love it-this book provides you with that soul-searching kind of poetry-I own it and read it every night before I go to sleep-Well, not EVERY night, but yeah-often. You can get it here.

His poetry is somber, surreal, funny and clever. He is a poet for Yaated Ne'eman Newspaper and the author of this amazingly delightful book-Chaim Bashevkin wonderfully approaches jewish life with whimsical rhymes. Buy it here.

Find me someone that says poetry is not beautiful. Okay, don't-because there are millions upon millions of people who think poetry is beneath them and is for geeks and nerds who always have their head in a book. I say it's empowering and beautiful-it's something that can awaken your mind and truly touch your soul. It can remind us of a happy time filled with laughter, joy and smiles. Or, it can get you all teary-eyed which is sometimes necassary in everyone's lives. You need to allow yourself to indulge in the occasional rhyme or non-rhyming poem. It is like a breath of fresh air-No- it IS a breath of fresh air...;)
