Thank you Jerry Palmer for kicking this off. Poetry is fun when shared aloud. Give it a try.

No need for anything professional because this is just sharing the love of poetry. If you haven’t purchased a copy of BRISK VERSE you can through these links: 4 a.m. The need of solitude Is basic, like food. Teachers, preachers, All of God’s creatures, Mothers as well, And health personnel, Farmers, writers, Former prizefighters, Require periods of silence When a phone call is a form of violence And a knock on the door is sheer mayhem. So I arise around 4 a.m. And I find it very pleasant That nobody else is present: Coffee, paper, and a pencil, All that are essential. I hear the chirping of the birds And in my head, a flock of words, So many lovely ways to say: Thank you for another day.If you are a paid subscriber to The Writer's Almanac with Garrison Keillor, thank you!
