We set aside a
month each year
To celebrate the
poet’s art,
Re-reading poems
that draw a tear,
Arouse the mind,
or wound the heart.
We sample
unfamiliar verse
Of poets we’ve not
known before;
We find some
better, others worse,
Some may inspire,
yet others bore.
Perhaps we’ll
write a line or two
To walk a mile in
poet shoes,
To do the things
that poets do
When they’re
inspired by the Muse.
We may give rap
another chance
Or hear a poet
read his stuff,
Attend to lyrics
while we dance,
Explore the deep,
enjoy the fluff.
