The bookmark, on top of the picture above, came into the bookstore at the end of March. Often people do donate books and leave 'treasures' in them. This time, it became my own treasure and I knew what I would do for April's poetry, write about found treasures, perhaps find new places to look? Happy April!

The photo is called "The Blue Marble Shot". Enjoy this article from The Atlantic, "the story behind the image". It will be fifty-one years old this coming December.
Earth Day –
Time to Reverso
while Earth stays hurt
and shadows thin
sunshine flirts
as spring begins
wandering through
our climate fears
no one attended
for too many years
come on activists
take a stand
for the children
for our land
