How is your April going? Are you doing anything fun for poetry month?

And I’ve made reservations – I’m going to the LA Festival of Books later this month. It’s a few days before my birthday, so I’m going to celebrate by visiting Santa Monica and other favorite LA spots along with the book festival.
Allrighty, today’s poem-a-day poem…[poof!]
