The Poems

Christmas

These started off as Christmas cards in the early 80's and evolved into longer pieces.

Easter

After a few years of writing Christmas poetry and, occasionally alluding to the Easter story, it finally dawned on me that Easter would be a good time to further explore these ideas.

As a church we studied the book, The Purpose-Driven Life. I offered to write 6 poems for that 6-week series based on the scripture found in 6 of the chapters. Several years after the study, I started finishing the series.

Sacred

You may be noticing a trend here, as I mainly
write Christ-centered poetry. This section of poetry just doesn't fall into the categories above.

Miscellany

These are a few of the secular pieces that I've written.

Songs (without music)

Once, I submitted a poem to Nashville and it was put on a CD. I thought, That was easy. I wrote some more. Easy? Not so much.

YAHWEH

A series of 22 poems concerning the names
and attributes of God.

The "Other" Psalms

This is a collection of poetry that sounds "Psalmsy".

Journey thru the Bible

This is the poetry from my (wait for it)
journey thru the Bible.

Relatively Speaking

Voices from the past. Poems from my family.
