Shira: A Poet's Diary. Sunday, February 21, 2010. It is said that with the coming of the Hebrew month, Adar, we are joyous. Esther was able with the help of her brother Mordechai to foil Haman's plans by disclosing them to the king at a feast which she organized. And s. Last week at my grandchildrens' school each class chose a Purim family theme and went with it. On Monday, the first graders all dressed up as grandmothers, the second grade as teenagers, the third grade as babies, the fourth grade as ...

Shira: A Poet's Diary: April 2010

Shira: A Poet's Diary. Wednesday, April 28, 2010. The Walls Fall - May 1967 Jerusalem. When I first took the bus that climbed the hills from Tel Aviv to the then divided city of Jerusalem I was nineteen. My first glimpse from afar of the legendary city that my people had dreamed of for two thousand years was breathtaking. I was enchanted and I knew it would be my home. My parents married in pre-State Israel, then called Palestine. Again, as in 1948, Israel was not destroyed by the invading Arab armies bu...

Shira: A Poet's Diary. Sunday, January 31, 2010. The mystery of siblings, raised by the same parents, who are different yet the same fascinates me. I observe my own grandchildren, raised by my son and daughter in law here in Jerusalem, and wonder at how different each is, although they share the same way of life and values. I was raised in a home spiritually rich and economically struggling, but the refrigerator was always full. Born into the first elevator house in the Bronx, as soon as I knew myself my...

Poetry is a powerful force. Be careful how you use it. August 2, 2009. Posted by Jess Killmenow. Our civilization is built on work. I have done a lot of work. I am still doing a lot of work. I have grown moderately old working like, well, a plough horse. I look forward to the same until I retire, or, more likely, die. Yet this arrangement has depleted our resources and almost destroyed our environment. Perhaps we could discuss how to fix it. MS Fundraiser Web Page. Follow “PLOUGH HORSE”.

Shira: A Poet's Diary. Sunday, June 20, 2010. The gift of Music. Due to technical difficulties. . . . I have been locked out of my electronic fix for almost two months. So hello once again! I would like to talk about the great joy of music which has been my "high" all my life. How lucky to live in a time of free access to music, to have experienced the miracles of radio, TV, records, tapes, CDs, and the countless electronic musical babies being born every minute, a source of constant excitement. When I w...

Shira: A Poet's Diary. Monday, October 18, 2010. Time to talk about Cats. I grew up in a Chassidic home. Following in the foot steps of King David in Psalms,. So it was natural for me when making my home in Jerusalem to raise a dog and then her beautiful girl pup and later two cats. The latter came about when running up and down eight flights of stairs to walk the dog became a necessity after my son - the dog walker- got married Thank God. Here is a poem from my new collection, "Tales of Love and Exile".
