#NPM17 - 16/30 - One Minute

If you can’t be a poet, be the poem. – David Carradine

       My goal for Poetry Month: TINY THINGS. My choices may surprise you, and I'm excited to write, share, and read how everyone writes to meet their special goals for celebrating poetry month.
    

       Poetic 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, if you'd like to see what everyone is doing for Poetry Month, look HERE at Jama Rattigan's post at Jama's Alphabet Soup.

         Bridget Magee and her family have started a project in response to the chaos happening in our government. Go HERE to find out about it, to see how you can help!

One Minute

Early dark, that minute waiting

for the tiny touch of light.

Celebrate the promise made

that sun will overcome the night.

One by one our gifts awaken.

Day by day the colors rise.

Watch the artist paint by number--

yellow, lavender, bluest skies.
