April is #NPM18 - National Poetry Month.
"Poetry is a deal of joy and pain and wonder, with a dash of the dictionary."
~ Khalil Gibran

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.
