Happy National Poetry Month!
It’s the last the day of poetry month and whew 30 days flew by fast. This year I didn’t do my usual 30 days of poetry blog posts. But I hope you still enjoyed the few poems I’ve shared with you this month.
The poem I wanted to share with you I searched high and low for. It was by a female slam poet who blew me away. I found it last summer and swore I shared it on FB but was unable to find the YouTube video with you. Oh well.
Now here’s the final poem I’m sharing today has made me a huge fan of Crystal Valentine. Enjoy!
Did you enjoy reading and writing poetry this month? Discovered a new favorite poet?
