Lent – Poems From Psalms And Nature

small gifts

small gifts
sustain hope
add together
light falls
on my Bible
and poetry
by my chair

We are creating posts for 2021 at Easter And Spring Poetry. Here are a few examples:

I enjoy creating with a few different themes and often reprint my poems in different ways.

‘GOOD’ AS IN FRIDAY

He fashioned from their cross
a throne.
He made of death a door.
He robed his nakedness
in love,
And needed nothing more.

For though they wrapped his
broken flesh
in linen crisp and white,
He left sin’s costly fabric
soiled
And cloaked himself in light

That shines the centuries
undimmed
to pierce earth’s dark despair,
By spilling scarlet car-
peting
Up Heaven’s radiant stair.

I am enjoying The Book of Kells, by Barbara Crooker (2019, Cascade Books).

Barbara Crooker’s website has more information. For example, you may wish to see her BOOKS page, and read her Poem of the Month.
