Welcome April: National Poetry Month [POETRY]

This morning brought reminders that this is the month to celebrate poetry. From haikus to epic stories told in verse, this is the month to delve deeper and find the dramatic flare of the poet. Will you accept the challenge? Will I find time to post every day?

Suffer Fools

Suffer fools, who make a joke,
Those who must annoy, prod, and poke
And make mirth from precious things
And wish to tug your heart strings
Until they snap and rip asunder
The walls that hold back the thunder
Of midnight wails and twilight cries
That left unchecked, drown our eyes,
Sap our strength and make us weak
Yet, in the end, fools must follow the meek

I may have been adversely affected by something I saw in the world today. Do you ever wonder about National Poetry Month starting with a day full of practical jokes?
