Sov Poems | Examples


Premium Member Hear Oh L-Rd

The Festival of Lights, Chanukah has arrived
a hopeful time of praise each year revived. 
The Menorah lit, each home becomes a church.
Blessed are You, L-rd our G-d, King of the universe.

Our sister Miriam lights the shamash taper first 
a maiden fair and scholarly her prayers rehearsed
to bring together all that's beautiful, diverse.
Blessed are You, L-rd our G-d, King of the universe.

Eight nights we praise the L-rd for gifting us with Light
and pass around small things which bring delight. 
We rejoice. In brotherhood we are immersed.
Blessed are You, L-rd our G-d, King of the universe.

May G-d in his greatness light all your days
May family, friends, and foes mend their ways 
for all have needs, let kindness tame their thirsts
Blessed are You, L-rd our G-d, King of the universe.


*Bo-ruch A-toh Ado-noi E-lo-hei-nu Me-lech Ho-olom A-sher Ki-de-sho-nu Be-mitz-vo-sov Ve-tzi-vo-nu Le-had-lik Ner Shel Cha-nu-kah. 
* Blessed are You, L-rd our G-d, King of the universe, who has sanctified us by His commandments, and has commanded us to kindle the lights of Chanukah.

The Real End of the Cold War 1989

THE REAL END OF THE COLD WAR  1989



This is why the Soviet Union collapsed?

The rail engineers were then all women  -

Who stopped working in uniform - relapsed

(This is why the Soviet Union collapsed.)

They did cocaine lines  on the steel,  perhaps

Relaxing on the job by  rail-sittin’.

This is why the Soviet Union collapsed:

The rail engineers were then all women.

NOTE

Each line  has  ten syllables.   The word “soviet” seems to have  three   syllables  but  is usually pronounced with only two  - as  “sov”   “yet”.    Likewise “union”  is usually “yun”  “yon”
