April: National Poetry Month

April is national poetry month, so during the last week or so of April make sure you get some reading in or writing if you are so inclined.
Also, here's an idea from poets.org : National Poetry Month is about sharing and celebrating the wonder of poetry, and what better way to do this than by putting poetry in a public place? Go one step beyond hopscotch squares and write a poem in chalk on your sidewalk!

Pick a favorite line from a poem and choose a clean piece of sidewalk or pavement to write on. You can search for a poem on Poets.org or check your bookshelf for an old favorite. Use bright colored chalk to attract attention to your work, and add drawings or artistic flourishes to create some extra fun. Passersby will pause to read the lines and you'll have put a little poetry into someone's path.
