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.

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
