National Poetry Day

October 1, 2020
Today is National Poetry Day Do you have something to say? Write me a poem, no need to be long— Give me a couplet, write me a song. Or write up a sonnet, maybe make a haiku A quartet, a triad, or sing me the blues! If you add poetry into your life you’ll find it uplifting away from the strife. Write me a psalm or meditative plot Something inspirational, something you sought. Or read a new poet, these poems are short. New words can help you when you feel out of sorts. Just write me a poem, I’ll publish it soon. Make it silly or foolish or about a baboon. All words have meanings, some better than most. With alacrity write something, even a boast. Yes write me a poem, today is the day. Pick one word or a dozen, have something to say.
