A Collection of Biblical Poetry Solomon's Song of Songs, the Book of Proverbs in Haiku, Koheleth - a Poetic Interpretation of Ecclesiastes

An compilation of three books of poetry based of poetic books of the bible-Song of Songs is perhaps one of the most unique books in the bible but is often misunderstood and misplaced by the modern reader. This interpretation is an attempt at re-framing the song in it's context as one the greatest love poems in history, translated as a poem rather than scripture and with the historical context in mind.Song of Songs is perhaps one of the most unique books in the bible but is often misunderstood and misplaced by the modern reader.

In many ways the writer, Koheleth, is just like us, wrestling with life and striving to find the meaning in it. For this reason Ecclesiastes has always been one of my favourite books of the bible and I know that others feel the same. Over the years I have returned to it again and again and constantly found it comforting, reassuring, challenging and relevant.These poetic interpretations of Ecclesiastes are my way of engaging with the text, that I might know more of God and of the world God created.
