Many thanks to Chris for unearthing some old poetry I wrote for the Asbury Review so many years ago.

Good poetry is far more difficult than prose, though good prose is not easy. For this reason, I tend to be a sometime poet, treating poetry as an avocation. Many apologies to all true poets; your vocation deserves better than I give. Mea culpa.

This poem was written during my Roman Catholic period. In discussing with Chris whether I should revise it to be more Orthodox, he was adamant that I leave it as it was written, reflecting my faith and opinions from that period. I’m glad to have him as a friend.

My poetry can be found in my slim online portfolio. This new and old addition is entitled, “Our Lady of St. Monica Orphanage.” Give it a look.

I should write poetry more often.
