Happy Poetry Month, where poems parade in the streets, run like rivers within our veins or settle in our hearts every.single,time.
I have been using this older book pictured left that follows the alphabet with one kind of prompt each day. I used this book on occasion in the classroom years ago, but never worked through it day by day, with deliberation! But now I finished the alphabet on Wednesday, April 26th with Z is for Zany and have arrived at the final four days - free choice!
And, it's Poetry Friday! Thanks, Ruth Hersey at There is no such thing as a God-forsaken Town here, for hosting! Ruth is in Uganda so the time change will be interesting! She's celebrating her 17th blog birthday - Wow! And because that year calls for 'furniture', there are two poems that include chairs in her post! Congratulations, Ruth and thanks for hosting!
Remember to check out what's happening with the next Progressive Poem line today by Karin Fisher-Golton. See the entire list on the right. Only two days to go!
We had snow last week but it was "moisture". Yesterday was rainy - loved it! Thus, I believe our spring might have finally arrived with tulips and a few other blooms! We have the 70s predicted for the next week!
Thus, my poem plea!

Also, I keep forgetting to thank Linda Mitchell and Irene Latham for their poetry postcards and from Linda, an extra treat. They were a big lift during this winter that doesn't seem to want to say goodbye! Thanks much, Linda and Irene!
Have a wonderful weekend!
