Over at the High Calling Blogs today, L.L. Barkat’s Random Acts of Poetry is about “Writing in the Dark.” L.L . explains how she writes poems – in the dark at 4 a.m.

The article features a poem by Maureen Doallas, “Last Words With Her Executioner (jeanne d’arc)” and links to several other love poems written in character – including the characters of Eve (three on Eve!), Princess Leia, Gomer, Rebecca DeWinter (from Daphne du Maurier’s “Rebecca”), flowers, a new believer and King David, among others. So take a look and enjoy.

And if you want a chance to write a post for Beliefnet.com, check out L.L.’s Seedlings in Stone. Joan Ball at Beliefnet is offering that opportunity for five people who post about L.L’s book, Stone Crossings.
