In honor of National Poetry month I have decided Re-blog one (or more) WordPress (or other) poets a day. I am not very good with rules. So with that in mind I would like to introduce you to an other. I recently attended a slam poetry workshop at Notre Dame University taught by Marty McConnel. It was incredible and inspiring. She spoke about the poetry and the performance. I really had never realized how much was going on in the Slam world. This was one of those moments when I thought, “YES, YES, YES, … I LOVE THIS.” So In honor of National Poetry month and 6 year olds everywhere who change the rules to the game on a dime, I would like to show you a video of a poet every day in April, starting with the very dynamic Marty McConnell.

Your image never fades from my minds eye.…. Your silhouette, your smile, your awkward words made idealized. Your strong hands calloused by holding your own heart too high. It repeats like a scratch in my favorite song. Imperfections only enhance your strength, and perception. You learned to walk on broken shards that once was a …

In honor of National Poetry month, I would like to Reblog at least one of my favorite WordPress Poets every day this month. The first being James Meredith from the land of James Joyce and his poem for April Fools day, Ha Ha (two haiku). I always enjoy reading his poetry and I know you …
Dear You know who: I wish I could write you or call you and tell you how much you hurt me, but I won’t, Because you would ignore it and all my voice messages and emails would become a joke. I wish you knew how I felt, but you won’t because you don’t acknowledge my …
