April is Poetry Month



As an example, the following is an Exquisite Corpse composed by the intrepid Academy staff using the sentence construction Adjective, Noun, Verb, Adjective, Noun.
Slung trousers melt in a roseate box.
A broken calendar oscillates like sunny tin.
The craven linden growls swimmingly. Blowfish.
A glittering roof slaps at crazy ephemera.

Leave a copy of a poem in an unexpected place.
Write a letter to a poet.
April 26 is poem in your pocket day. 

memorize a poem.
