[stylist] April and a Poem Submission

[Barbara Hammel]

What type of poem is this?  Is it a made-up structure or does it have a 
name?  Tomorrow when the twins are in school, I'm going to hook up my 
Braille display so I can run my fingers through it and truly absorb it. 
It's pretty.

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.
