May morning
sounds of work
in the neighborhood
today
peaceful morning
a prayer from childhood
still with me

April begins
with rain and snow
always time
for poetry to grow
The Academy of American Poets began National Poetry Month in April 1996.
What is the earliest memory you have? Language Arts. Words and books.
This inspires me to review my stats. My acrostic poem for reading continues to be the most read poem, after Home page/Archives.

Saturday morning
day begins early
and in a quiet way
from prayers to plans
for kitchen work today
And I remember this poem:
peaceful morning
a prayer from childhood
