Did you know that April is National Poetry Month? Poetry is a genre of literature in which the expression of feelings and ideas is emphasized by the use of distinctive sounds and rhythm.

Poetry is an important part of diverse cultures and is expressed in many different styles and forms. Poetry opens the door to other's experiences offering us a deeper understanding and empathy for the world around us. Reading poetry allows us to connect and find unity in our shared experiences while writing poetry allows us to express our own thoughts in feelings.

So, if you want to relax and enjoy other people’s poetry or perhaps try writing a poem for yourself, the library has some wonderful resources in the world of poetry. Ask our librarians for their recommendations or feel free to browse Non-Fiction in the 811's for our collection of poetry titles.

THE CHALLENGE:

Read and/or write a poem a day for the month of April.
If you read a poem - or collection of poems - or if you created an original work that you'd like to share, post the author/title or work on the WFL Facebook page in the comments section of the April Poetry post.
We'll copy your suggestion(s)/works to this page to share with our viewers.

Thank you in advance for your "outpouring" of creativity!

Plip plop plip rain falls. Piercing cries, fierce eyes.

Seeping, soaking earthen beds. Silhouettes of grey on blue.

Waking seed and soil. Wheeling high above.
