This National Poetry Month(NPM), I am writing and sharing original poems about food, family and feasts. Sundays will be a day to reshare a poem from the past. A list of links to previous poems is HERE.

​Since 2018, I have participated in the Two Sylvias Press poetry prompts for NPM. Two years ago I wrote a poem about an April Fool’s Joke involving the Graham Cracker Pie I featured on Wednesday this past week.
grandmother’s
recipe for pie
egg custard
graham crackers
once she swapped salt for sugar
“April Fool’s,” she yelled.

BACK STORY: This actually happened. Not as a joke but as an accident. My husband and I were discussing something when I was making this pie for our daughter’s birthday. I scooped from what I thought was the sugar container and instead it was salt.
​

We didn’t know until we tasted a very salty meringue in the pie. Eew!

Irene Latham who began this poem project back in 2012, has handed it over to Margaret Simon to organize. I am so grateful to both Irene and Margaret for this wonderful April collaboration to kick of National Poetry Month.

Each day in April a different poet will add a line to this poem begun here today. No one knows where it will go or how it will get there, but it always gets there beautifully!
