For the last day of National Poetry Month, I'm sharing a poem that has only been on my desktop for a few days. It was chosen as Poem of the Day by Poets.org for April 22nd, and it made me snicker.
The Creative Drive
by Catherine Barnett
A recent study found that poems increased
the sale price of a home by close to $9,000.
The years, however, have not been kind to poems.
The Northeast has lost millions of poems,
reducing the canopy. Just a few days ago,
high winds knocked a poem onto a power line
a few blocks from my house.
Here's the rest.
The last line of the Progressive Poem is here! Thanks for another fun collaboration, everybody! Let's all write our individual poems instead for a while, but see you again next year!

It's been a pleasure to read what you've shared, Ruth, all those tabs entertaining everyone in April, now part of that lost canopy? Happy May and your school year's end.
