Did you know April is National Poetry Month? Neither did I! But it is.
I found this nifty article that I really enjoyed and thought I'd share. http://www.dailypress.com/entertainment/books/dp-fea-writers-block-0324-20150323-story.html. It offers up some tips and tricks for celebrating National Poetry Month and is supposed to be updated regularly.
I also found this little pearl: http://www.poets.org/national-poetry-month/30-ways-celebrate-national-poetry-month.
30 ways to celebrate?! Seems excessive, but I'm definitely willing to pick a couple ways and try them out.
Celebration #1: Sign up for poem-a-day. That's right - I'll be getting one poem a day straight to my inbox.
Ooh another idea on this list that's top notch: Write an Exquisite Corpse poem with some friends. I don't really have any poetry-inclined friends who'd be willing to play along, but I'll try! Maybe we could do another Exquisite Corpse poem in class to celebrate.
Alright, we'll I've done one thing and it's not even technically April yet. I think I'm doing pretty good.
My goal is to do at least half the items on this list before the end of April. Wish me luck!
That seems liek fun Lindsey, let me know what you come up with!
