#NPM18 - 24/30 Bookstore



April is #NPM18 - National Poetry Month.

"Wanted: a needle swift enough to sew this poem into a blanket."
 ~Charles Simic
           
         Be sure to see the page on the bar above for the Progressive Poem's schedule of poets, hosted by Irene Latham at Live Your Poem.  
        And, see what many are doing for Poetry Month, by looking HERE at Jama Rattigan's post at Jama's Alphabet Soup.
          
              My goal for Poetry Month: A haiku diary that may include other forms related to haiku, like haibun, haiga. monoku or renga. My first poem speaks of why I am handwriting the poems.

Talking books with a teen? She's so lucky to have your recommendations. Love every line of this haiku!

Linda B said...

Thank you! It was a fun day. Other young ones came in, too! This particular young woman was an avid reader, said it was time to 'stock up'!

Cheriee Weichel said...

Is there anything better than talking books with an avid reader?

Glenda Funk said...

What a wonderful, productive conversation. I did not expect the ending!

Linda B said...

I have that joy quite a lot at the store, Cheriee. There's very little better! Thanks!

You may not know that it's a local used bookstore, Glenda, all run by volunteers, too. Thus, the books are a very good price! Thank you.
