It’s National Poetry month people.  So get out there and celebrate.  Not sure how?  Poets.org lists 30 ways that you can slip poetry into your daily activities.  I’ve posted before about the heart healthy benefits of reading poetry.  Other studies suggest that reading poetry can boost the immune system and also reduce the  severity of symptoms in arthritis and asthma sufferers.  So do your body AND soul some good.  Read a poem, share a poem, write a poem.  You owe it to yourself and the ones you love.

Open A Book
by Jane Baskwill

Open a book
And you will find
People and places of every kind
Open a book
And you can be
Anything that you want to be:
Open a book
And you can share
Wondrous worlds you find in there
Open a book
And I will too
You read to me
And I’ll read to you.
