April is National Poetry Month
National Poetry Month is a little more than half over, but it isn’t too late to celebrate. You can still surf on over to Poets.org (brought to you by the Academy of American Poets) and read poetry, listen to poetry, learn about poetry, and even sign up to get a poem a day for the entire month of April. This nice thing about the “poem a day” is that you can sign up this year, and you will still be signed up next April. Poets.org features poetry both modern and classic, so if you stop by you are certain to find something that you will enjoy.
If, on the other hand, you would prefer to play with a random poetry generator I offer you Hyperpoetry. On this site you can even choose the type of poem you would like to generate. If you choose a “Clarity Pyramid” you could end up with something like this:
black
monsoon
jungle heat
he runs through the green
bones of old industry
jungles bounded on all sides
found in the broken pulse of time
Enjoy!

As a poet, I can say that it doesn’t get any better than National Poetry Month !

I love National Poetry Month. It gives me an excuse to both write and read poetry.
