As for me, I have created a Poetry Machine! Basically it's a 25-cent gumball machine that I've converted. Each pod contains a wee poem! So it's kind of like a fortune cookie...you never know what you're going to get. FUN! I'm super-grateful to Pink Porch Market and Charlie B's in Oneonta, Alabama, for giving the Poetry Machine a home during April!

How will you celebrate poetry this month??
