The Practice is going on vacation for the month of April. Poetry Month. Each day for the month of April, I will post a poem from a different poet on my Facebook page. Join me there. Let us drift with the poets for a bit.

The practice is inspired by Naomi Shihab Nye and her notion that words are like oars. Dip them in the water. Explore with them. Feel how they touch and bump up against one another. Let them take us further down the stream.
