I remember hearing about the chiastic (letter 'x'-chi) in the Psalms via Beth Moore several years ago....the way the Psalmists used the form to write phrases that reflected one another. What a wonderful reflection you've written here! and I love the red and green.....

Yet another stunning offering. I learn so much from you guys, like what a chiastic poem is. Beautiful piece and collaboration❤️

A lovely reflection on hope. I don’t think I’ve ever heard the term “chiastic” before. I’ll add this to my list of forms to try!

Chiasms are commonly used by the ancient Hebrew writers. For example, Genesis 1 is a chiastic poem. It’s actually an interweaving of several types - yup, it’s complex! I enjoyed your use of this form; you have inspired me to write something like it today.
