so, how’s a poet to even try to keep their days straight?

Standard

yo!

rainbow

hello

don’t go!

 

an original, in honor of bad poetry day

which i just missed 

but now

it’s very nearly national poets day

and before too long will be national poetry day.

and so

see below.

Hard on the heels of Bad Poetry Day on August 18

Comes National Poets Day on August 21

Presumably we celebrate good poets for this day.

Although Poets Day could certainly refer to any poets, good or bad.

It could even mean you! If you’re a poet …

So on August 21, celebrate the poet in you. Or in your friend. Or your favorite poet. It’s all up to you.

This day is different from yet another day celebrating poets and poems: National Poetry Day in October.

  1. Thank you. I am ‘good’ at ‘bad’ poetry. School starts for me tomorrow and for my kiddos on Thursday, year 25. Another summer break in the books, almost. Looking forward to some kinder inspired poetry from you!

  2. I feel I celebrate Bad Poetry Day every time I sit down to write one. Then, after long deliberation, I write until it becomes Good Poetry Day. Then I celebrate with a crazy dance of happiness–in my head. We don’t want to get weird about it or anything.
