It is April, and I am joining many others in celebrating National Poetry Month by reading, writing, sharing, and celebrating poetry each day this month. I have chosen to combine my love of reading with my love of writing. I will be writing poems using all things bookish--from titles to quotes to characters. So, come turn the page and write a little poetry with me.
Although I not finished with the book yet, it is an amazing read, and I understand why it has shiny stickers on its cover.
I think I just may have another poem come from this book before the month is over.

held each key
to reveal the edge of
the still morning air

Hi Leigh Anne, well done! I loved the book, too. Hope you enjoy all the rest!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read this book yet so I appreciated the reminder to add it to my TBR. Your blackout poem is powerful!
