Poetry of the Cross

 

Now that we’re done with February and moving through March, it’s time to announce the cooperative blog project I’m gearing up to host this month. Since this is the time when Christians mark Christ’s death and resurrection, I’m going to make the week right before Easter, March 16-22, the week for Poetry of the Cross. I plan to post a poem about Christ’s death every single day and I hope you’ll join me by posting a cross-centered poem on your own blog for as many days as you can. Then on Resurrection Sunday, the 23rd of March, I’m planning the grand finale: a collection of Poetry of the Resurrection.

As always with these cooperative projects, your job is to post and then send me your link by clicking on Contact under my photo in the sidebar. I’ll link to your posted poem of the cross in the next collection of cross poems. I’m hoping that some of the poets among us will post original work. If you’re not a poet and you don’t know where to find poems about the cross, your hymnal is a good place to start.

 

Let’s saturate our corner of the blogworld with remembrance and celebration of the hope of the gospel in the historical work of Jesus Christ.
