I don't mean to come off as boastful, but I just got my first poem published. :cheer: It's called "I wrote a little poem" and I dedicated it to my little brother who died in a car crash a few years ago. Now I'm thinking I should pursue this little writing bug that surfaces every few years.
Anyway, here it is:
I Wrote a Little Poem
I wrote a little poem.
It started rather slow.
My thoughts were all confused.
Slowly, they began to flow.
Since this one is my first,
in poetic rules I am not versed;
it follows no boundaries.
Maybe that is for the best
since poems are too beautiful
to be bound inside a chest.
So if we write what's in our heart
and share it with the world,
it doesn't matter if it rhymes
if we like the story told.

The book is called Twilight Musings and is a collection of amateur poets' work.

) Shalom actually has a bunch of meanings. There's really no equivalent for it in English - it's something said both when greeting someone and when saying goodbye. The literal meaning is "Peace."
