April is Global Poetry Writing Month (GloPoWriMo). And I need it as things become apparent in the next couple of weeks as I share here.

I need to get writing but have been fighting a cold and bug for the last week so my energy levels are low.

But I’m moving through it grateful for each day I feel a bit better and manage to get out for a walk.

I am going to be writing poems this month but for me writing goes hand in hand with reading.

So this month of writing poems will see me sharing poems here. As a motivator as a means of getting out of a rut.

So today – Day 1, I share a favourite poem from Lucille Clifton.
