A Cloistered Heart: Devotional Poetry & Scripture Meditations

Poetry is conversation. Whether lyrical or narrative, following a strict form or free verse; poetry is designed to be read aloud, contemplated, and discussed. This small collection of Christian devotional poetry is intended to help you begin conversation with God.

Inside these pages you will find brief, accessible poetry spanning themes such as:

* The life and passion of Christ

* His mother, Mary

* Biblical fiction

* Nature themes, and more

Pieces are written in free verse as well as forms including:

* haiku

* pantoum

* sonnet

There are also a handful of Scripture verses included, followed by a basic formula for prayer with Lectio Divina, and space for note-taking, journaling or drawing to allow you to interact with the text, deepening your conversation with God.
