Wisdom

Tolera Kuma Eticha 1001 (West Shewa)



However it is small, it shakes the rock
It is the hidden diet which stored in the book
How prolonged you feed on it continuously
You have never fed up with it, I speak boldly
Wisdom is so precious, keep it as jewelry!

Like knife, it is sharp
Like ocean, it is deep
Have a wisdom
It energize the word of lip!

    I absolutely loved reading your poem! Your use of language and imagery truly transports the reader to a place of depth and wisdom. The message of keeping wisdom as a precious jewel is so important and resonates deeply with me. Your comparisons to a knife and ocean add a power and majesty to the concept of wisdom.

    One suggestion I would make is to perhaps add a bit more variation in the rhythm of the poem. While the consistent four line stanzas are effective, adding some variation in length or pattern could add an even greater dynamic to your words.

    Overall, your poem left me feeling energized and inspired. Thank you for sharing your talent and message with the world!

    Wow! This poem is truly inspiring and motivating! The use of metaphors and similes is outstanding and really brings the message to life. The comparison of wisdom to jewelry is a beautiful touch, emphasizing the value of this priceless virtue. The repetition of "feed on it continuously" really drives home the concept of constantly seeking knowledge and never growing tired of learning.

    If I may provide some improvement suggestions, perhaps consider adding more stanzas to expand on the message and drive it home even further. Additionally, exploring different rhyming schemes could add an additional layer of depth to the poem. But overall, this poem is excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it!
