Poetry Month
It seems everything has a “month” in which is it celebrated. Among several other causes, April is the first ever National Poetry Month. Check out the site for ways to celebrate, like “poem in your pocket” day (April 17). My favorite poets are T.S. Eliot (specifically “Four Quartets”), Shel Silverstein and Edgar Allan Poe. Who do you like to read? Do you write poetry? Share your thoughts.

Huzzah for celebrating poetry. I feel it is often a misunderstood experience. You can’t “nestle in” with a good poem like you can with a book, but poems often provide deeper, more thoughtful experiences. For my money you can’t beat a good Shakespearean sonnet or the works of Walt Whitman.By Dany

I used to write poetry but don’t seem to find the time anymore. Do they have a poetry class at either high school? Kids need to be exposed to it so they get the chance to decide if they like it or not. I also like Shel Silverstein, do you know he lives in Key West? He seems like an eccentric guy.By kentucky bluebird

I write poetry and have for many years. Sometimes it is like the words come bursting from deep inside me,they almost leap onto the pages.Other times the Words refuse to come together for me, then out of the blue a simple phrase streaks through my mind and everything fits .By kentucky bluebird
