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?

Content, “I will never leave thee”

 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. Hebrews 13:5

Church Sermon Verse

 “But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”

‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭6‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ ‭KJV‬‬
