National Poetry Month Celebration

3/30/2014

My FAVORITE Time of the Year!!!

Yes! It’s that time of year again and I am so excited about the wonderful talent to share with you! What I love about this celebration is that each and every poet is original and fresh. Their art has influenced and inspired me in many ways and I trust it will have the same effect on you. I am a strong believer in Artists Supporting Artists and I invite you to show the featured poets some love by posting a comment of support. To kick off this celebration I share with you some well wishes for now and always. I thank you in advance for a great National Poetry Month!! Let the party begin!

Dear Poet,

These are my four wishes for you:

For the message of your poems to come across to readers in a clear and powerful way.

For the removal of distractions and frustrations that interrupt the writing process.

For energy for all of the events and publicity that go along with being a poet.

For your ability to balance multiple demands on your time and attention while still maintaining priorities like family.
