For example, today is Draw a Bird Day, 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.
Anyway in recognition of National Poetry Month - I would like to post one of my favourite poems.
Ride a Wild Horse" by Hannah Kahn
Ride a wild horse with purple wings
striped yellow and black
except his head
which must be red.
Ride a wild horse
against the sky--
hold tight to his wings
before you die
whatever else you leave undone
once ride a wild horse
into the sun.

Please tell me what your favourite poem is.
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 :) Life is about creating fun...let's have more of it!!!
Have a wonderful day!!
When I saw your blog title and then the comment about tartan I wondered for a very surreal moment if you were going to share a tartan knitting pattern! Instead I got a beautiful poem :)
ReplyDeleteLovely poem. Also you need to check my blog tomorrow because I have nominated you for an award...
ReplyDeleteA month for poetry- cool.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it will get folks to study 30 of them!
I don't think I will add this to my bucket list because I was traumatized by a horse years ago, but I love the poem.
ReplyDeleteLove the sentiment of the poem. I don't have a favorite poem. Some of my favorite lyrics though, are by Pink Floyd. Especially: "Look around and choose your own ground, for long you live and high you fly, and smiles you give and tears you cry, and all you touch and all you see is all your life will ever be." from "Breath"
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have a favorite poem. I'll have to think about that one. Your favorite is lovely. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLovely poem. I am no good at poetry. My favourite poem is 'If' by Rudyard Kipling
