National Poetry Month

Do you ever sit and read poetry? Do people do that? I so wish I did, but truthfully, I don't.

When I heard April is National Poetry Month, I Googled it and poets.org came up. Not only does it have information about the monthly event, it is such a great resource if you ever wanted to look up a certain poem, browse poetry in general or look for poetry events in your area. It also has a lot of resources for teaching kids about poetry.

I remember learning about poetry in school and certainly as a literature major, but it is not something I've kept up with one bit. Maybe just browsing the site this month will remind me about this genre that must certainly be at the top of the list when it comes to the lost art of writing. Hopefully it will lead to more.

What about you? Do you ever read poetry?
