It's April again, poetry month in America and spreading to other countries. There are new prompts at Poetic Asides. But my imagination has been captured by a meme I came across, to write a letter a day for 30 days. Of course I want to do them in verse! I'm late starting, as I was absorbed in teaching Reiki this weekend, so somewhere along the line I'll need to do two per day on two days.
Here are the details:

I ... entered the poem of life, whose purpose is ... simply to witness the beauties of the world, to discover the many forms that love can take. (Barabara Blackman in 'Glass After Glass')
