April is National Poetry Month
This article offes a variety of web sites to visit to learn more about poetry and National Poetry Month. Great for families, or for the writer seeking a little inspiration.
Do you remember the joy of turning the brightly colored pages while Dr. Suess’ rhymes tickled your imagination? Have you been moved to tears by the lyrics of a love song? Perhaps there is a particular line from Shakespeare that has always resonated for you. All of these are examples of poetry, but there is even more to explore.
Let’s face it, for many of us, the word “poetry” conjures images of deciphering cryptic phrases in order to pass high school English. The Academy of American Poets wanted to help revive our interest in the written word, so in 1996, they designated April as National Poetry Month. Since then, organizations across the country have promoted events to introduce children and adults alike to this often under-appreciated art form.
