POEM: 4pm/4am

Inspired by the 4am/4pm poems Rachel Welcher penned in her breathtaking collection, Two Funerals Then Easter. In her Lenten book club, she challenged us to write our own version of these poems. Here they are. 4PM At 4 pm, I ordered you and your school-day energy out of the door.

I’m so excited to have a BUNCH of my work featured in next month’s Collected Online Arts Magazine. Here’s a teaser poem they released. Before corona, Collected ask me to write about light. Those six poems will be released in April. Corona and darkness have been everywhere; somehow it seems timely to find a little light. #poetry #light #corona #poetsofinstagram #christianpoetry #christianpoet #twilight #love #romance

Rainy day poem, and a reminder that God’s name is He Sees. #elroi #christianpoetry #poetry #poem #tanka #hesees #alabaster #dreams

I may be working on Valentine’s Day, but at least I get to look at this kid while I do it. #actionshot #trumphands @ckauff21

For the lonely married, the happily married, the barely married. You are so loved. For the newly single, the still single, the happily single. You are so loved. For the widowed, the divorced, the refugee, the orphan, the child, the forgetten. You are so very loved. Happy Valentines Day. You are the beloved. #valentines #valentinesday #love #jesus
