It& #39;s #PoetryMonth! Since we& #39;re all locked in the house, I& #39;m going to recite a poem every day and memorize a bunch of new ones. Poetry helps me center myself, may it do the same for you.
Today, it& #39;s Wendell Berry& #39;s The Peace of Wild Things

Day two of national #PoetryMonth. Today& #39;s poem is Keats& #39; "Ode on a Grecian Urn." (Two part video)
Keats died at 25 of tuberculosis. He spent his last years knowing he was dying and living, more or less, in quarantine. Relevant to #coronavirus May you find beauty and truth today

It& #39;s day 3 of #NationalPoetryMonth, and with the first wave of spring subsiding in DC it& #39;s a good day for some Robert Frost.
Stay gold, my friends.

Time to get ham! It was supposed to be spring break this week (and I should be in Vieques), so it& #39;s children& #39;s poems all week, and I& #39;m gonna do them just like I do for my kids. Kicking things off, here& #39;s Jabberwocky #NationalPoetryMonth
Day 7 of my #NationalPoetryMonth poem-a-day project goes out to everyone who& #39;s freaking out every time you sneeze from pollen or feel an itch in your throat.

Didn& #39;t get around to recording this entry for the #NationalPoetryMonth poem-a-day challenge until late, so it& #39;s a good day for a lullaby. This is Winken, Blinken and Nod
The kids interrupted my planned poem for today& #39;s #NationalPoetryMonth entry, but it reminded me of this perfect Shel Silverstein bit about siblings, so here is Two Boxes
Y& #39;all, we& #39;re halfway through April. Whether we wanted to or not, we all changed our lives. So here& #39;s Archaic Torso of Apollo for today& #39;s #NationalPoetryMonth poem-a-day project.
Since madness is setting in here in #quarantinelife , today& #39;s #nationalpoetrymonth poem-a-day project is from Maryland& #39;s mad poet. This is Annabel Lee #poetry #poems
Short and haunting, this is Ezra Pound& #39;s In a Station of the Metro for today& #39;s #nationalpoetrymonth poem-a-day project
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, this is for you.
The kids playing by the river moved me to choose Mary Oliver& #39;s Wild Geese for today& #39;s #NationalPoetryMonth poem-a-day project.

If I find myself faltering when a difficult thing needs to be said, I& #39;ll think "and should I, after tea and cakes and ices, have the strength to force this moment to its crisis?"
