Come the month of April,
when poetry comes alive.
For it's National Poetry month,
and all the poets thrive.
Poetry of epic length,
and a haiku or two.
Simple rhymes and loving words,
with a message just for you.
Elegance and proper form,
and a limerick just for fun.
Poetry of every style,
as no one will be outdone.
Poetry about a friend,
or a thought we shared.
Or it could be about
a time that we were scared
Poetry about sweet love
or a death that made us sad.
Poetry can make us happy
or honor a special dad.
Yes April is a time for poems
and to honor those who write.
But a special honor for a poet
is when they're asked to recite.
