National Poetry Month


April is National Poetry month, and has been for almost 20 years.  There is so much to love about Poetry all year round, I won't even begin to write it all out here. Here are just a few ideas to get you started.

I am writing poems this week on The Artist's Words.

The Literary Mama blog is dedicating the whole month to poetic writing prompts, interviews with poets, and loads of poetry resources.  

Go to Poets.org to search for your favorite poems, read about your favorite poets, or find poetry events in your area.
