How Did I Celebrate National Poetry Month?4-26-08

Well

  • On April 17, it was a Poems In Your Pocket Day, I have carried a poem that I have written on that morning. I carried it on my journal and in my purse . I have shown it to my love ones. The poem is called Military Time. the reason I choose this, because it is my own opinion and I wanted to send out a message for the world to see what a kind of place we are destroying, what kind of lives we are losing, and what kind of drama we have created in this country. Wars and soliders are still in Iraq,dying in each day.

Also I don't have a favorite poem to carried in my pocket but I took one that I had. It is very personal to me.

  • I brought 4 poetry books plus a beautiful red journal at my favorite bookstore, Barnes and Noble. I was trying to find a book that I used to have when i was a little girl. It is called Honey, I Love And Other Love Poems by Eloise Greenfield . I love her poems. I don't know why i got rid of it.

  • A little bit of blogging. my blog anniversary has been passed. I am so late!

  • Writing poems daily are nothing new.

  • I made my loved ones a greeting card for their birthdays.

  • Saying "Happy National Poetry Month!!"

  • It is almost at the end. :(

April is leaving me in vain

leaving me too soon

she waves her hand goodbye

saying

she will come around

next year

bringing the new fresh rain

of

beautiful poetry

across the world

i hear her words

feeling her emotions

like spring

through her wonderful days

i write

sweet verses

after bittersweet verses

dropping

upon

her paper tongue

yet

she's my elegant month

and now

she's leaving

leaving too soon

with the soft shower of kisses

goodbye

goodbye

will come around

next yearr

You certainly celebrated this poetry month in many ways.
I completed my ''Spring'' slideshow as my contribution.
Before we know it, it will be here again.
