In 1996, Academy of American Poets launched National Poetry Month. Poetry keeps me grounded, helps me heal, helps me climb the mountains I was never prepared to overcome. How about you?

 To celebrate, I will try to participate in the National Poetry Writing month NaPoWriMo. Yea, yea, “Do or do not. There is no try” but life, you know. 

Anyway, in some parts of the world sakura blooms are flowing down the river and in others, buds are still kissing the cold air. It’s poetry time!

Anyway for your reading pleasure, here is an example of found poetry by Tracy K. Smith. A very powerful poem that Tracy ‘found’ in the Declaration of Independence
