This is National Poetry Month, if you haven’t noticed, and quite a few people who love poetry are trying to share their love of it in any way possible.
Obviously, for me, I have this blog. I also have a Facebook page and I also share my love of poetry with family and friends.
So how about you? How do you spread the word?
One way is by sharing a poem you love with someone you love. Often you can just read a poem aloud to the one you love, or if it is long-distance, send the poem via e-mail or regular old-fashioned mail.
Another way is by promoting poetry using your local resources whether it’s starting a web-site or blog, forming a group or creating a project to share with schools or other groups in your community.
What I want to know is how you share poetry and I hope you’ll share the details with me either in the comments section or by e-mail. Either way, clue me in: How do YOU share POETRY?
Thanks always for dropping in, please drop in again next week…

Dear A. F. Stewart,

Thanks also for the inspiration award!

I too have a blog and I have featured a poem every day of April. Often it fits in with something going on in my life that day. Thus, I hope I am reflecting that poetry broadens and reflects our every day life.
I have also been reading a poem teach time in the adult ed classes I teach, emphasizing the pleasure of poetry. I often photocopy those poems and distribute them to the others.
And having been challenged to do so, I'm writing something more or less poetic each night as a summary of the day -- I don't believe any have been poems yet but after the fact a few may become poems.
June,
Wonderful! Especially with reading a poem during your adult ed classes, hopefully you can renew interest in poetry with people who lost interest after high school English class.
Sincerely,
Paula
