LECTIONARY POEMS

Welcome to this on-line collection of some of my poetry. The poems below are intended for use as devotional companions to the appropriate NT texts of the Revised Common Lectionary. Almost all are from my unpublished collection of poetry and are intended for use in public worship and Bible study classes, or for private devotions. Nearly all the poems were written in rhyme and meter, to be read aloud. Preachers, teachers, and others are welcome to use them, with proper credits given.

THE SECOND SHORTEST VERSE

Luke 17:32 (NRSV) - Remember Lot's wife.

When through the entire Bible you have diligently swept,
you’ll find the shortest verse consists of two words: “Jesus wept.”
But if to cite the second shortest verse you’re sometime beckoned,
Luke 17 verse 32, with just three words, is second!
