April is National Poetry Month. Fortunately Stephen King<\/a> from the V7N blogging group<\/a> posted the other day about National Tartan Day and that reminded me that there were a few sites that list these dedicated days, weeks and\/or months. This is a big help to bloggers, who run out of steam..er..words from time to time. You can just pop over to http:\/\/www.holidayinsights.com<\/a> or something similar and pick up an idea for a post.<\/p>\n

For example, today is Draw a Bird Day<\/a>, which actually started in 1943. Follow the link; it’s a wonderful story. Coming up soon is Change Your Name Day and this may be linked to Honour Your Middle Name Day – not quite sure.<\/p>\n

Anyway in recognition of National Poetry Month – I would like to post one of my favourite poems.<\/p>\n

April is also National Write a Poem Month – I still think that we need a group for those who just write Limericks or short cute poems that rhyme \ud83d\ude42  Life is about creating fun…let’s have more of it!!!<\/p>\n

Have a wonderful day!!<\/p>\n
