Is Song of Solomon Poetry?

Yes, the *Song of Solomon* (also called *Song of Songs*) is considered poetry. It is one of the five megillot (scrolls) in the *Ketuvim* (Writings) section of the Hebrew Bible and is known for its lyrical and expressive style. Unlike other biblical books that focus on laws or historical narratives, *Song of Solomon* is a poetic celebration of love, desire, and devotion. 

Its structure is unique, resembling a dialogue between lovers, with interjections from a chorus of onlookers. While it is often interpreted allegorically—representing the relationship between God and Israel in Judaism or Christ and the Church in Christianity—it is also recognized as a deeply personal and evocative piece of poetry. 

Given your love for faith-centered reflections, you might find its themes of devotion and longing particularly meaningful. Have you ever explored its verses in your writing?
