April is #NPM18 - National Poetry Month.
"Wanted: a needle swift enough to sew this poem into a blanket."
~Charles Simic
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. My first poem speaks of why I am handwriting the poems.

I love this Charles Simic quote at the top of your page today!
ReplyDeleteThis poem of yours today is exactly how I feel about being out in nature - it becomes sacred space.
Thanks, Cheriee. I love that you love the quote, and knowing what a seamstress you are, I think I know why!
DeleteThis is so like Emily Dickinson's poem "Some keep the sabbath going to church." Lovely image of birds singing on a beautiful Sunday.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Glenda, for sharing the connection. It was a beautiful morning.
