New Online Literary Journal for Christians and All People
My Photo and My Poem in the Inaugural Issue
On 3 June 2019, my poem Lifesaver was published in Lost Pen Magazine, by the Founder and Editor, Dyane Forde. She also selected one of my photos to accompany my poem, an image she featured on her legacy blog in March 2018.
Update: 7 December 2022, the journal is closed and archived. You can view information here.
The Form
The free-verse form of my poem is sometimes called “decastitch” or “sonnetina”. In a descending form, I began with 10 words in the first line, then continued with one word less in each line until the poem ends with one word.
The Message
It is my humble hope that the poem’s message will reach those hearts who feel that there no longer is hope. There is hope. His nail-pierced hand is reaching out to grab yours and it’s filled with love for you. Will you take it?
