National Poetry Month

April is National Poetry Month!!

From time immemorial, mankind has endeavored to express himself through the sung, spoken or written word. These days, poetry is written, typed, blogged, recited, chanted, sung, slammed, and illustrated in innumerable ways.

An example of a newer method of sharing poetry is Poetry Visualized, where poets illustrate their poetry visually, through film.

Here's one I've posted before, but I like it too much to pass it up. It is "Forgetfulness" by Bill Collins.



My own poetry can be found on Falling Plum Poetry and Karumi Garden Poetry.

Make time this month to sit back and savor some poetry.
