A poem a day in April
April is the cruellest month, breeding

Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing

Memory and desire, stirring

Dull roots with spring rain.


TS Eliot




This book: a poem a day in April, following Katya's prompts below:

April 1—personal folly (something really stupid or silly you can admit to in a poem)
April 2—slatternly tendencies
April 3—group dreaming (Google Inception (a film) or Jung/Jungian archetypes in dreams)
April 4—back-to-work
April 5—Tuesday Weld
April 6—hedgehogs in the wild or as pets
April 7—Thor, Norse god of thunder
April 8—the need for wine or beer
April 9—significance of the number nine
April 10—art by women, women painters in history or now
April 11—Blue Monday
April 12—the terrible twos…
April 13—the theme of “supposed to”
April 14—thunder and lightning
April 15—your take on taxation this year
April 16—being quiet
April 17-- free-choice or take a field trip somewhere and respond to that in a poem
April 18—you’ve got to be kidding!
April 19—well gone dry
April 20—hump of the week
April 21—justice or a gavel
April 22—freedom, free with purchase, or other irony of the word “free”
April 23—Shakespeare’s birthday
April 24—Easter
April 25—cruelest month
April 26—April showers, May flowers (but no actual clichés) (maybe a ghazal!)
April 27—exhaustion
April 28—train ride
April 29—haiku or very tiny poem
April 30—books or beyond them, or Buzz Lightyear (“To infinity, and beyond!”)
