I
My little old dog:
A heart-beat
At my feet.
II Spring
A winter wind,
Primroses,
And the new furrow.
III Friendship
The silence of midnight,
A dying fire,
And the best unsaid....
excerpt from "Lyrical Epigrams" by Edith Wharton
"Launched by the Academy of American Poets in April 1996, National Poetry Month is a special occasion that celebrates poets’ integral role in our culture..."

The Milne Public Library is also celebrating National Poetry Month with our yearly Poetry Month Challenge. This year's challenge is to create an ACROSTIC POEM. An acrostic poem is a poem in which certain letters of each line combine to spell out a word when read vertically. These poems can be about anything-your favorite animal, a food you love, a time of day. Stop by to pick up a packet with examples and a guide for creating your poem. All poems returned by May 1st will be entered to win a $30 gift card to a local business in the following catergories: Adults (19+), Teens (13-18), and Children (12 & under). Packets available in the Children's Room, Circulation Desk, Teen Room, and in Spanish in the front lobby.
Deadline to return entries is April 30, 2026!
I appreciated the practical perspective in “30 years of National Poetry Month”. The point about minimax h3 ai video was especially useful, and it gave me a clearer way to think about the subject.

Thanks so much for highlighting this incredible milestone! Celebrating 30 years of National Poetry Month is such a wonderful reminder of how powerful language can be, whether it's discovering classic verses or exploring new voices. I was actually taking a quick study break earlier, unwinding with a quick game on Gamevault999, when I came across this post, and it inspired me to pull out my old poetry anthologies to mark the occasion. Appreciate you sharing such a thoughtful celebration of the literary arts!
