Mid-April Perspectives on National Poetry Month

I was doing fine until I skipped town to go to Corpus Christi for a few days with my beloved. I think I wrote one post on my phone on the drive there (he was the one behind the wheel, of course!) and then shelved that idea until we got back home. The original thought was to bank up posts ahead of time, but obviously that didn’t happen and as regular readers will know, I started posting completely out of order.

Honestly, I didn’t think anyone would care, but I did get roasted for my occasional catch up posts marked a day ahead of or behind the actual date. And I started second-guessing my A, B, C’s.
