poetry is eternal graffiti written in the heart of everyone

Blogger was down for most of the day yesterday, so there's nothing prepared for today's "normal" post. I hope that doesn't come as a shock—that I'm not awake every morning before 6:00 to post a poem, and again scrambling something out before 8:00. Pre-posting makes blogging possible.

 

So, in the absence of time and content, here's another perspective on poetry for this blustery, cold National Poetry Month.
