Annual Limelight

The season's almost over,
and I hate seeing it leave
without a whisper,

complaint or compliment,
while poets
bask in literary sunlight,

thinking the moment is eternal.
April's month of poetry
is soon to end.

We enjoy and relish what we can, while we can. We remain optimists.

Gerald, at my work, which is a school, no one seems to care about April being poetry month except me due to standardized testing which is so non-me, and is taking up all of our valuable time, worse yet, the children's. For this reason alone, I will be glad when May is over, for this idiocy continues for 4 weeks, ruining poetry, art, and creativity for all of us.

I understand (several educators in my family) and feel sorry for this loss to our culture.
