 Welcome to 2021 National Poetry Month. It's my fifteenth year of participating (some years better than others).
This year I'm taking a look at some previous poems that I enjoyed and will be revising. Some have been on the blog before and others not. I have five great interviews lined up: April 2 POETRY FRIDAY: ALLAN WOLF April 9 POETRY FRIDAY: LISA FIPPS April 16 POETRY FRIDAY: CHRIS BARON April 23 POETRY FRIDAY: JOANNE ROSSMASSLER FRITZ April 30 POETRY FRIDAY: LITA JUDGE I love getting books into the hands of readers so there will be prizes for stopping by and saying hi. So my April Poetry Project is to revisit and redux some previous poems. I am not totally feeling it! So I am changing it up. I am going to revise and redux some poems and sprinkle in new poems with it. Today's is a response to the "Verse of Ages" prompt on April 15: 'essence'. It gives me an opportunity to play with my Scottish Gaelic. Outside my writing room hangs a flower basket. The juncos have moved in. As I thought about the word essence, I thought of the care of their young. bidh eòin a ’biathadh cnuimhean dha na leanaban aca brìgh gaoil © jone rush macculloch, draft Translation birds feed worms to their babies essence of love © jone rush macculloch, draft

This last year has changed how we do things. Susan has put together a list of words to generate poems:
