Ah, my poor neglected blog. Life has been a bit crazy so far this year, but it's never too crazy for [Poetry Month]! I'm a day late starting because I was attending the ACRL conference through noon today and I got home too late/tired last night to worry about posting a poem. So I'll post two today! Check back daily for new poems throughout the month! :)

I'm trying something new this year. I saw [an article] a while ago that suggested the idea of playing "poetry tag". I loved the idea, so I decided to go with it. I picked a random poem to start and from there I will use the last word of each poem to pick the next day's poem. I'm looking forward to finding lots of interesting new poems this way! Part of my poem-hunting will be accomplished using the Poetry Foundation's [awesome poetry app], which you should totally check out if you have an iPhone or iPod Touch.

Happy Poetry Month!
