Forever a Songstress

It's songless in my heart, songless.

But there's a chorus on my lip, a chorus

Because even when I'm lost in the forest, midnight forest,

I'm still a songstress alive, forever a songstress.

Hollow and sore is my heart, aching soreness

Purple Iris
(10 syllable meter)


While I enjoyed a morning scenery 
I spotted amongst hues of greenery 
Purple Iris, she must have a mistake 
Thinking a poet's pen she can escape

Purple iris, gentle, humbled and sleek

Adult on the Monkey Bar
May 13, 2024

Midst horizontal
Free-For-All spaces
Childishly boggle
Bow-tied shoe laces

Wiggling right and left
Swaying back and forth
My two precious legs
Grateful to her lord

Found myself resting

It Burdens My Nation

To be the rescuers you claim
When you turned on the antisemitism flame
Now many voices cry out in vain
Innocent victims in tremendous pain

Endangering my fellow sister and brother across the globe
Preaching a lie that our benefit you scope

My little Girl Inside

My little girl inside.

She's desperate
She's helpless
She's yearning
She's screeching from within my core

I will Hug her
I will Embrace her
I will Listen to her
Bcs she's unworthy of being...

Thanks for taking your time to reply. I'm sorry about what happened to many of your family in 1942 and to millions of others. I purchased now the book on Amazon. Thanks again!

82! What an honor to read your poem, Mr. Strum. It made me feel so proud and loyal to my country's forefathers. I could feel the sadness as I always reading further, it must be painful for you to watch as thing change. Would u specify what you exactly see happening? Who adhores the law and loved the lie? what can we do as citizens to keep our moral grounded?

*King of all kings

As a young kid I would always interrupt the history lessons requesting to understand the idea of a war. One teacher answered me that when I'll be older I'll understand, which is not true cuz I'm turning 22 and still don't understand. Another teacher answered me that God is the kind of all kings, and all the local politics and battles is mapped out from heaven. All leaders and nations on this plant are like play-mobile pieces in God's hands and he's maneuvering the board. However, question to you poets, isn't there today less wars than it used to be in history?

I relate to the hurtful emotion of jealousy. It can eat up a person. And I believe it's really amazing when one can acknowledge it and express it.

You inspired me to write my own cherry blossom poem: )

Everyone loves you spring cherry blossom tree
You bring out the young spirit within me
You appear so bright yet so gentle as baby pink
A subtle reminder that it's once again spring

With each and every tree I pass by
Your beauty inspires me another time
What a rich blessing have we
Everyone loves you spring cherry blossom tree
