OK, time for some poetry blogging

Well, when I launched this blog back in 2004, aside from the need to vent on things happenning in the US while I was in Japan, its major purpose was to serve as a vehicle for my poetry.

Well, then, off we go.

I'm prompted to this by a great discussion with Jon Trainer over at personal trainer EX villis CATHEDRA, who has brushed off his quill and, following no less illustrious example than Edward Taylor (though directly inspired by D. A. Carson), has been writing sonnets as reflections on his sermon subjects since Passion week:

a holy week sonnet
dark road
deep, deep

Champ Thornton, Jon's fellow at New Hope Church and coblogger, posted several of Carson's sonnets on Passion week: catch them here, here, here, here, here, here, and here.
