Did you know that April is National Poetry Month? I didn’t,but I love the poster. How nice to designate an entire month to remind us of the importance of poetry in our lives. Almost everyone remembers a poem that touched them or affected them in some way. As a teenager, many of us may have picked up a pen ourselves and created poetry that expressed what we were feeling.
I’m especially fond of poets Rainer Maria Rilke and Mary Oliver.
Oooh a nice post! How delightful. When I was much younger – in pre-history, it seems, I used to read Rilke’s poetry in German, quite melodious, which is a tribute to his talent, turning poetry in German into melodious sounds!
