Hurray, it is finally time to kick off National Poetry Month.
I admit it, I love poetry. I even got an early start on the celebration with my last post, a review of the children’s poetry book Nest, Nook and Cranny. 
National Poetry Month is a great time to get the word out that poetry is fun, interesting and as the website says, has a “vital place in American culture.”
The official Poets.org website has a wealth of information to help you get involved, including Great Poems to Teach and a list of 30 ways to celebrate.
As March rushes out with a roar of wind gusts, I’m reminded of:
Who Has Seen the Wind?
By Christina Rossetti
Who has seen the wind?
Neither I nor you:
But when the leaves hang trembling
The wind is passing thro’.
Who has seen the wind?
Neither you nor I:
But when the trees bow down their heads
The wind is passing by.
