Happy April - National Poetry Month!
Poetry comes in many different styles and do not necessarily need to rhyme. Poems can be as short as the 3 line Japanese Haiku, or as long as the ancient Greek epics, such as Homer's The Iliad - coming in at over 15,000 lines!
Poem topics vary and range from the sacred (the entire Book of Psalms in the Hebrew Bible), to love (think Shakespeare), to nature (Thoreau, anyone?), and even comical and irreverent. This writer even penned haikus about writing!
Do you have a favorite poem? Here are several ways to celebrate this unique art of written communication.
Happy writing!
