#NPM18 - 1/30 Celebrating


      Celebrating today with Ruth Ayres and others who share. 

           Fabulous spring break at our condo with family, many skied, lots of writing time for me, visiting, playing games, sweetest time!

no skiing this day - Barb & Dave,
my daughter-in-law & son-in-law

AND, the beginning of a poem a day for Poetry Month!





April is  #NPM18 - National Poetry Month.
       "Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash." 
                                                                                                                      ~Leonard Cohen

  Other things of interest:  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. I have enjoyed studying about and writing in these forms in past Aprils and alongside other's who've given a challenge in this form. And, I look forward to seeing what parts of this month I will choose to collect in a diary. I will also be connecting with others, writing for their challenges, too, along with other kinds of blog posts.
