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.

Every day holds a poem!! My heart rejoices in this fact. :) Perhaps I think differently. ~ Brandy

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.
