40 Days of Lent

Image created on Canva
40 days to celebrate
what the Lord has done.
40 days to celebrate
Jesus’s love for everyone.
40 days for fasting and
denying yourself of one
luxury to remind yourself
of the time Jesus spent alone
with Satan in the desert.
Draw closer to Christ and no one
else. It is a holy time
to remember the removed stone.

Paula Frew
An Ohio native, the author wrote her first poem in the fourth grade. It was entitled Daffodils. At that time, she fell in love with the form. She wrote through the angst of adolescence and into the beauties and dissonance of adulthood. She has of late begun to write flash fiction. It speaks to her as another short form. Her first chapbook, Lyrical Legacy, was published in 2021. She has also been included in several anthologies. All are available on Amazon.
