Ridiculous! I mean, absurd! Comparing US to those two birds! We’ve got no wings! Nor.. feathered... things! A poet? No! (C) Stephen W. Buchanan 2020

There comes a time
to go to bed
when there’s a rhyme
stuck in my head
that feels it must

Thanks to Susi Bocks at I Write Her for pointing out today, 21 March, is World Poetry Day in her “Celebrate Your Passion” post! I didn’t realize that when I posted my poem above. Why not take the time today to discover new poets, read poetry you love, or write something just because!
