Tania Kitchin Poet Rhyme

Cross

Cross has many meanings and symbols in everyday life
It can be described as a facial expression of distaste or strife
To cross someone, a person hurts others for their own sake
A Cross is also known as the place Jesus died for us on the stake
Many people wear cross pendants, they are seen worldwide
“To Cross” can also be a bridge or road to travel to reach the other side
Cross can be patterns to follow to make some clothes or knit
Cross stitch was seen as a popular craft from the eighties, often in a kit
Cross can be a grade school memory of crossing your t’s and dotting your i’s
Cross reminds me of hot cross buns, their taste and smell are such a high

Carolyn Devonshire March 3, 2019 at 12:32 PM Tania, I can tell you put a lot of thought into the many meanings of the word "cross." I believe you're right about the cross pendants being worn worldwide and I'd never even thought of "hot cross buns." With many outstanding entries, judging was difficult (again). Congratulations on a second-place win! And thank you for supporting the contest. Best wishes, Carolyn Tania Kitchin March 3, 2019 at 12:37 PM Thank you Carolyn, I am honored by my placement. Thank you also for the contests you sponsor, you inspire me to write!

Rico Leffanta February 27, 2019 at 1:46 PM Hot crossed buns always have my full support, Tania! You missed, "Swastika" aka "Greek Cross" although it was a good luck symbol to Native American as well as India Indians (Sanskrit = "well being"), but not so lucky for millions of Europeans, so perhaps it is best forgotten! Aloha! Rico Tania Kitchin February 27, 2019 at 2:58 PM Thank you Rico!

Tom Cunningham February 27, 2019 at 11:00 AM I think you've covered every definition of the cross Tania. Good luck. Tom. Tania Kitchin February 27, 2019 at 11:40 AM Thank you Tom!
