April Is Poetry Month-So Are All The Others!

         It's exciting to welcome April, and many poetry Friday bloggers are beginning challenges to see who would like to write with them. I may join them sometimes during the month, but am planning to work hard to write haiku and haiku-realated poetry this month. After all, spring has arrived, mother nature is waking. It's a good time to observe the small and large parts of life around us. Some of us also are supporting each other, sharing on twitter with the hashtag #DigiPoetry, created by Margaret Simon, of Reflections on The Teche. You're welcome to join us.

             Many Poetry challenges are rounded up by Jama Rattigan at Jama's Alphabet Soup. If you want to see some lovely poetry, go to Jama's post to see everyone's plans.

sense the opening leaf notes

Today's the check-in, and while I know I've read thousands of words in the past weeks, most of them were blogs. There hasn't been much going on with those books on the list. It has become my 'wall of shame'. Of the twenty-one I'm-sure-they're-all-wonderful books, I have read only one, The True Blue Scouts of Sugarman Swamp by Kathi Appelt. It was terrific, and hopefully this next three months will see more crossed off!
