    Ode to a Cross
    Ode to a Cross
    By: Adam M. Snow

    Made from an old dogwood tree,
    betrayed for all the world to see.
    With three nails upon the cross,
    Satan bows his head emboss.

    The blood drips, staining splinters,
    pours out upon all ranters.
    Your arms stretched wide, your feet bounded,
    all's frozen, the thunder sounded.

    To the heavens you cried out,
    praying for all of us no doubt.
    Stained by blood is that old tree,
    you were hung and died for me.

    Wow. That's just beautiful. So much truth. I was really struck by the thunder sounded line

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
