April is Poetry Month

Roses are red
Violets are blue
April is National Poetry Month
so Happy Poetry Month to You!

Hoffman Estates, IL, April 2008 - In 1996, the Academy of American Poets established a month-long, national celebration of poetry. The idea was to increase the attention paid by individuals and the media to the art of poetry. The month of April was chosen so that schools and students could participate in the various programs recommended by the Academy. Also, the month of April was chosen because there are many poetic and musical references to April: "April Showers Bring May Flowers," "April Love, " and "April in Paris." The Academy of American Poets supports and nurtures American poets. To learn more about the Academy and its programs, go to http://www.poets.org
