Calvary Cross is Closed
Thank you to all the poets and artists and photographers for making Calvary Cross so successful! It is with great sadness we're closing her down. Please send your poems that you have emailed in to another poetry site. There are many great poetry sites out there.
Keep writing and Mega Cheers & Blessings!!!
Stephen Jarrell Williams
As with Dead Snakes and UFO Gigolo, I hope the archives remain.
ReplyDeleteNot too many sites open to Christian poetry and thought.
But running three sites is a whole lot of work.
gee back to back blows! first dead snakes now calvary! I'm not happy.
ReplyDeleteHope all is good. I just think - you should continue these two blogs. So many of us loved submitting our work. At the same time you gave us a chance to read beautiful poems. I am from India, and you connected me to so many poets around the world. I agree there are many other sites but these were maybe favourite of many poets. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI am truly sorry to see this site close. It was very inspirational to all readers. I wish you the best of luck and be well.

TO OUR BELOVED STEPHEN JARRELL WILLIAMS
ReplyDeleteWho knew your websites
Calvary Cross and
Dead Snakes
would vanish
with the morning light?
Fool that I am
I thought they'd
be inspiring us
for years to come
like your God
eternal!
Can you see me
Stephen? I've
said the Bar-ruch-a
over my cheese omelet
watered the garden
and howdy'd the birds
Yet my mind is
disturbed. Your
mustache quivers
in your online
photo. Unlike you
I am no bard nor
prophet, yet closing
down your mansions
does not bode well.
Keep your unblinking faith
Know that we who followed you
Will keep you tucked inside
and always remember your
emails, "You have been published
in Calvary Cross"
Cheers and blessings,
Stephen.
No one could have said it better than Ruth Z. Deming. There is no other site doing what Calvary Cross did. But I can fully understand how running three sites at the same time and holding down a job would take the wind out of someone. Perhaps some day Stephen will return and that would be a wonderful thing.
