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.

Talking books with a teen? She's so lucky to have your recommendations. Love every line of this haiku!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It was a fun day. Other young ones came in, too! This particular young woman was an avid reader, said it was time to 'stock up'!
DeleteIs there anything better than talking books with an avid reader?
ReplyDeleteI have that joy quite a lot at the store, Cheriee. There's very little better! Thanks!
DeleteWhat a wonderful, productive conversation. I did not expect the ending!
ReplyDeleteYou may not know that it's a local used bookstore, Glenda, all run by volunteers, too. Thus, the books are a very good price! Thank you.
