Time to Write a Poem

A poem a day for the month of April, National Poetry Writing Month

Time To Write a Poem a Day for April, Poetry Month

I Write

I write to stretch myself
to be more of me
I write because I like words
I write because I don't have a horse
to ride anymore.
I write to surprise myself..
I write to leave a piece of myself
for my grandchildren.
I write because I can.

In response to "April 29 Wear It Like You Own It"

Friday I went to a luncheon where about 75 ladies were in attendance. The program was about hats and everyone was told to wear a hat and if you didn't wear your own hat there, there was a table full of hats to choose from and you got to keep it. So fun, I only own a Stetson which is appropriate at a horse show but not at this luncheon so I came away with the cutest black cocktail hat. I am sure I'll never wear it but I am now inspired to go buy a hat of my own that I would wear. People at the country club were staring whenever one or more went out of the banquet hall to the restroom etc.
