April is National Poetry Month

 Two years ago when the uncertain days of the Covid-19 pandemic were just beginning, I found something to occupy my newly free hours at home.  I began re-organizing bookshelves and recognized I had a trove of poetry books that had been neglected.  For the next 57 days I explored a different book and shared a poem (or two) each day both on my blog and on .  Eventually I added commentary and pictures.  I'm not sure why I ended my postings, because I had not yet exhausted my supply of poetry books.

Now I once again find myself somewhat confined at home following foot surgery and can return to my unexplored poetry books everyday in April.  If you are interested in additional activities on this topic, check out  National Poetry Month .
