National Poetry Month

I'm not going to officially do NaPoWriMo this year.  I plan to write plenty of poetry this month--just don't want to feel bound by any 'rules.'  I meant to get a post up on the 1st, but alas, having been up since 2:30 and feeling like my allergies had morphed into a summer cold, I went to bed early...and slept hard until J woke me (which is highly unusual since I'm almost always up well before he leaves for work). 

As usual, any poems I post will be over on Moojo Cafe.  (And since I'm running short on time this morning, there's still not one for April...yet.)  ;)

I'll start off my April poem-nanza by sharing some links...

The Academy of American Poets has great resources at its poets.org site.  Examples...

national poetry calendar and national poetry map (find events near you)

Download a copy of the '08 poster here.

Sign up to receive a poem a day in your IN box.

Check out new poetry books released this Spring here.

Connect with poets.org in a variety of ways to stay informed year-round.

But mostly April is all about POETRY...reading it...writing it...sharing it...savoring it.  Happy National Poetry Month!
