Hello, Hearts of Hope Community. I want to share with you a new feature I have added.
I write a lot of poetry! So far, I have composed 24 poems in 2026. That is almost a poem a week, which is my goal for the year. I currently have over 30 poems “in process.” These range from a couple of lines to the poem almost finished. Most of my poetry is Christian in nature. However, I do write poems that are not specifically Christian. Lately, I have been pondering how to share these poems and where they might live.
I recently discovered that Substack, where I post Monday Missives, has a feature called sections. You can create a section separate from your main publication, with its own place for writing to live and its own mailing list. So, I have created a new section titled “Poems Greg M Cole.”
In this section, I will be posting poems that will not appear in Monday Missives. They will be poems that are not generally Christian, but I hope still express the beauty and power of poetry. Sometimes, they will have an explanation of where or how the idea for the poem originated, but not always. Sometimes, it will be just a poem. The posting will be random, with no set schedule. However, the first poem will be coming your way this Saturday.
Because you are on Hearts of Hope email list and already receive my current posts, I have added you to this new poetry section mailing list. If for any reason you do not want to receive these poems in your inbox you can unsubscribe at any time. I hope you won’t unsubscribe, but realize that each of us are different with unique likes and dislikes.
On another note, I try to be responsive to suggestions concerning content. So please let me know if there is any area or subject that you would like for me to address.
Thank you so so much for being a faithful follower. May you be richly blessed by the Lord, as He gives you joy and hope!
