Thereafter, under the influence of Uri Zevi Greenberg, she began writing in Hebrew. The themes of her verse are love of nature, romantic love, and the joys of motherhood. Her long poem "Ahat" describes a young Jewish girl who immigrates to Israel after surviving the Holocaust and dies fighting for Israeli independence.
