Drop Everything and Read... THIS POEM
Hello and Happy National Poetry Month! Truly, is there anything better than April? Here's "April" as it appears in THIS POEM IS A NEST.

ars pasifika by Craig Santos Perez
Just nine lines, and full of wonder and wordplay, it begins...

of silence
rises
say "ocean"
