NATIONAL POETRY MONTH....Day Thirty

All good things come to an end so they say. Today is the last day of National Poetry Month. I hope you have been following my daily blogs with the poems.  All in all I did over thirty pieces for April.  Many have come from my life, as I mentioned before.  It was indeed an interesting month which I felt went by quickly.  May will begin with a flurry of activity for me as well as June. I do not know if I'll have a blog a day or not but will try for a few a week. One thing I promised on Day Twenty-Nine is to keep you informed about my election for the state office in the veteran's organization where I am member.  I have been busy trying to make calls to campaign.  

As April comes to an end I still hope you continue to read poetry when possible. I have found it to be relaxing at times to unwind. A glass of wine and a few good poems can relax you OR cup of tea and a few poems; your choice. 

Today I plan to re-read poems I've written last year during April and compare with this year.  Also re-read ones I had done few years back during April and had published in a book.  

Until next time....it's Monday. Enjoy the day.  

POEM FOR DAY THIRTY

April leaves us with sadness

   National Poetry Month comes to 

         an end for this year

Sonnets....odes....ballads....

   Rhyme....free verse....acrostic

Put on the shelf by many till April 

        rolls around again

So many poems to read 

   Thirty days not enough time to 

      appreciate the genre of poetry 

Yet the month comes to a end

Poetry....forgot by most till April 

       of the next year

But at least it is celebrated for a 

        month

Unlike some holidays....only for 

        twenty-four hours 

Read a poem a day....start a new 

        tradition 

It's not written in stone that we need to put poetry in storage at Aprils end....that we can only 

      celebrate and appreciate 

          thirty days once a year

Another month ends ever so 

      quickly....where has the time 

          gone?

Pondering on the past thirty 

     days....as well as what the 

        next thirty-one days will hold

Realizing....that one can not 

     foresee the future....but only 

        hope for the best 

Inasmuch we accept what lies in 

     our destiny....we still wonder 

           what  fate has in store 

Like it or not it....what will happen 

      will happen....we need to go 

       with the flow and take it in 

              stride
