This is the last day of National Poetry Month, celebrated by a poem almost every day here on 37days. Poets take us places, juxtapose what doesn't fit to let us see differently, open up a world of imagination and experience we connect to, tell us truths. And as we close out our celebration of all that poetry brings us, it feels right to acknowledge that all of life is poetry. All of it. Your life is a painting. Your life is a poem:
Love this reminder that our lives are poems. Thank you and I share one of my faves–so simple yet profound:
The Red Wheelbarrow
William Carlos Williams
so much depends
upon
a red wheel
barrow
glazed with rain
water
beside the white
chickens.
Thanks, Patti, for the reminder. And…a little known fact: Willard Scott invented, and played, the Ronald McDonald character. I know you were only there for the fantastic iceberg lettuce salad with Newman’s Own dressing…
thanks for sharing your lovely photos!
you have inspired me to change the way i take pictures.
What a fabulous way to wind up poetry month and thanks so much for making so many good reads possible! Amazing photos too:)

In 2005, Patti Digh started her blog, 37days, following the death of her stepfather who died just 37 days after being diagnosed with cancer. Six books about living mindfully followed. And there’s more to come.
