April is National Poetry Month. And to celebrate, (courtesy of the Poetry Foundation) I have free copies of the April 2012 edition of Poetry. It is yours for the posting—just leave me a comment about why you love poetry, or better yet post a favorite poem or share a poem you wrote! And I will send you out a copy.
Let me leave you with a little emily dickinson on a warm spring day:
A little madness in the Spring
Is wholesome even for the King,
But God be with the Clown,
Who ponders this tremendous scene—
This whole experiment of green,
As if it were his own!
Independence
Government stronghold
Private clubs
Corporate gold
Verbal flubs
Privileged members
Limited choices
Declining numbers
Silenced voices
Revolutionary progress
Lines drawn
Political regress
Barriers gone

Progress-
voices of the right and left.
eternal separation.
Ideas cleft.
We keep on hoping,
Ain’t shit changing.
Revolution is the way,
The .00001%ers have always got paid.
