Purim Reflection

We have come to the season of Purim We'll celebrate how the Jewish people defeated Haman their bitter foe How we once again survived as we have so many times before and after this victory The God of Israel came to our aid once again We will feast tonight on wine and hamantashen take joy where we find it Take joy in another sacred day which marks the continuance of the Jewish people Do not fear We have triumphed in the past We will again Modern day Hamans take note We are not weak but strong! As I put pen to paper I remember the Purim carnivals of my youth We will be able to capture these childhood memories and feel once again the joys we once knew HAMAN WAS DEFEATAED!

Wonderful poem. I especially like the line "take joy where we find it", that is good advice for anyone.

Thanks for telling me about this one. I really like it. Your verse is so easy to read and understand. Some free verse I do not like because the poets drag on and on. Yours is always just the right length!!
