So, here is a toast to Adele (inspiration, fuel and operations guru behind it) and all the people who chose with their postings to celebrate poetry by reading it, playing with it, and entering into dialogues.

Please convey my regards to both Basil and Risa who contributed so much all month. <br /><br />As we close the door on April, I offer this quote from Carl Sandburg: "Poetry is the opening and closing of a door, leaving those who look through to guess about what is seen during the moment." Here's to more <br />thinking about what's seen during poetry moments on this blog!
