this month, it's okay to admit you're foolish. it's National Poetry Month and there's nothing more foolhardy than to write a verse or two about what your emothion. about what you love, what bothers you or about whatever strikes you today.
poetry is an arrangment of prose that looks more like a bouquet than a garden. no neat rows of plants, just an array of blossoms and leaves--they don't call it free verse for nothing.
the French have a saying: it ain't love, if it ain't foolish. be silly, fall in love.

I like this part of the Quirky writer's definition of poetry: "more like a bouquet than a garden. no neat rows of plants,
just an array of blossoms and leaves."
