The End of the Line-a poem

CHRIST IN WINTER: Reflections on Faith from a Place of Winter for the Years of Winter… ©

When you write a poem it

is important to

end each line with a

strong word, one that

carries with authority into

the next line. Otherwise it

will be a weak and

wobbly effort that is not

helpful to anyone but

stupid people and snails and

such, so be strong when

you come to

the end of the line

The “place of winter” mentioned in the title line is Iron Mountain, in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, where life is defined by winter even in the summer! [This phrase is explained in the post for March 20, 2014.]

I have also started an author blog, about writing, in preparation for the publication, by Black Opal Books, of my novel, VETS, in late 2014 or early 2015. For some reason it does not appear when Googled, even though it’s a Google blog. http://johnrobertmcfarland-author.blogspot.com/
