In honor of National Poetry Month, please take a moment to revel in aloneness and find comfort in the company of a poem. Listen to the voice of the poet and let her words give way to your own poetic voice. Spend time reading (or listening) and re-reading (or re-listening) to this poem or any poem but let yourself be inspired today. After all, isn't that what poetry is all about?
"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for." - Dead Poets Society
Why poetry?
Poetry (I'm learning now I've graduated) isn't something you run across often outside of the classroom. But poetry is meant for more than just Monday, Wednesday, Friday from 3:00-4:00 so here is a place to always find poems and suggestions of more places to seek them out. You can agree or disagree with my choices, but my hope is that you'll be inspired to let poetry (the poems I find or ones you find on your own) be a part of your every day.
