About YbP Shimyonay

Yehoshua ben Peleh Shimy'onay (real name Phillip Joshua Kalata Jimenez) , after his transformation by the grace of God from being a diss track rapper to a worshiping poet, has become a lover of the Lord's praises. Not only that he is a lover of praises, he is also a 'lover of Abraham's culture, an admirer of the art made by God's chosen chosen race Israel' as he uses Hebraic-styled poetry or parallelism in all of his latter poems. He is now serving as a Sunday school teacher at Word of Hope Christian Family Church (AG Philippines) .

Unlike the other poems having rhyme and meter their important elements, the poems of Yehoshua Shimy'onay contains different significant features, namely:

1. Parallelism - the most important element of Shimy'onay's poems, which is a common literary feature of Hebrew poetry. It refers to the balance between two or more lines or stanzas, whether synonymous (similarity in thought) , antithetic (paradoxal thoughts) , or synthetic (completion of thought) .

2. Literary Beauty - a significant element of poetry that must be present in all poems. A poem must show an artistic impression by using imagery, figures of speech and symbolism.

3. Scriptural Inspiration - Shimy'onay's poems must be based from or must not contradict any part of the biblical truth, that is to say, it must agree with what the Bible says.

With this literary features, Shimy'onay is developing a poetic style called Neo-Hebraicism, which stands to the belief that the Hebrew poetry is superior to all forms of poetry and aims to bring the ancient Hebrew parallelism to the contemporary world literature.

Though some of his poems have rhymes and regular meter, Shimy'onay considers these features only as 'additives' to his poems due to his high regard to parallelism.
