Did you know it’s National Poetry Month?
This month I’m sharing some of my faves, both by me and by others.
If you have poetry to share, I’d love to read it! Send it to me and, if you want, give me permission to share it here. I’d love to have you involved.
What are you writing this month? Let me know!

STRUGGLES AND SUCCESSES
Poetry is one of my favorite disciplines. I respect it, like math, for all its forms and rules, and I stand in awe of people who can accomplish it with ease. I love its ability to move, to anger, to comfort, and to incite.
To that end, I’m going to share one that moved me.
I just found it yesterday. It was the poem-a-day poem for April 7th, and it certainly spoke to me.
It’s about politics, ownership, anxiety, and art. It’s called High Stakes by Yesenia Montilla.
You can read and listen to someone read the poem-a-day if you want to catch up on what’s happened this month.
Last week I shared my favorite poem. This week I’ll give you one of mine. Keep your expectations low.
And remember, I’m doing this for the exercise and a challenge. If you want to participate, you can get tips at linseyewing.com by signing up under the Get Access tab. You’ll also get fun freebies there to help your writing journey.

Easier than
Most forms.
