April is full of poetry
Couplet, sonnet, elegy
Free verse, haiku, villanelle
Rhyming or not, all is well
You might be a poet
And just not know it
I am not a poet
And I certainly know it
A column in verse?
It could be worse.
I could write it in code
But how to decode?
No more rhyming, I promise. Celebrate National Poetry Month by checking out one or more of these newly published volumes of poetry available at the library.
