[stylist] April and a Poem Submission

[Lynda Lambert]

Ah, here it comes!
It's just around the corner.  

It is nearly April.  

I have attached  a poem I wrote in 2001 - "In the Storms of April - Plunge"
(An excerpt from my book _ Concerti:  Psalms for the Pilgrimage_  
I wrote it in response to a friend who had sent me a poem he wrote.)


April is  National Poetry Month!  
April brings fresh new  experiences and inspirations for our writing.  

Poetry is in the spring sunshine and cast shadows of my Zen Meditation Garden this morning. 

My white cat, Angel, is curled up in a little bed of green leaves, He sleeps there  among the thick Periwinkle vines like a bright furry bird in his expansive nest. 

I thought I heard Poetry  in the woods, quietly moving about behind the  delicate green buds of the thickets today. I walked my eager and hungry dogs early this morning. I paused at the top of the cliff and let the dogs sniff it out. They were at full alert. They barked and growled. Scratched the rich black earth beneath the limp leaves, the debris of winter that lines the floor of the woods. It  had vanished.

April is National Poetry Month. 

Is there anything you will be doing to celebrate this month?  

For Poetry Month I pledge to spend my early morning hours here in my office.  I'll enjoy my  cup of Puerto Rican coffee, as I work to capture some of the images from my daily life through poetry.  There will be nothing here but the sounds and smells of the early morning hours wafting in through the open window.  I'll try to capture the flight of fancy that fills my fingertips as I type.
