National Poetry Month

I'm amazed that I haven't posted in April yet, since this is one of my favorite months of the year.  April is National Poetry Month, which means that most poets are currently sprouting forth words at rapid pace.  It is a time to come together and celebrate the power of poetry.  I am currently participating in three 30/30s  (30 poems in 30 days).  It is such a motivating time period, and perhaps only second to NaNoWriMo (which I will also be participating in this year) in output of words.  So to all you lovers of poetry, search around this month.  I am sure you will find many delightful poems that inspire and entertain.  Here's the first poem that I wrote this month:

Write Fresh

my cupboard is bare, my soul longs

to eat, got to

make it to the storehouse

on malnourished feet,

so I can feast

on line upon line,

I been starving!

it’s high time that I was fed,

I need something

sublime,

a little

food for thought, I need

vittles for my mind,

need

something that’s gonna get me

through this trying lifetime,

where far too many

sit hungry,

desolation carving emptiness

through lives

with no warning,

hope my words can be substance

‘til the broken

find their spoon,

‘cause all our souls could use a bit

of better eatin’ soon,

and so

I write fresh

 [End Poem]

National Poetry Month!!  Here is to an amazing April!
