There is a sweet woman who lives in Pennsylvania. She homeschools her children, takes care of her wonderful husband and spends special time with the family. I am talking about my cousin.

Last month, my cousin read one book of poetry a day. April was national poetry month and reading one book a day was how she celebrated. Isn’t that a good idea?

I was in AWE of her challenge and asked that when the month was done, would she share her number one pick (poetry book) with me.

Last week, on May first, my cousin shared her number one book, for the month of poetry. It is OCEANIC by Aimee Nezhukumatathil. I ordered it from Amazon and it arrived the next day.

Now….I could binge and read this book in one day, but….I am limiting myself to two poems a day. That way I can absorb each word.

Thank you for sharing this with me. How wonderful is it to be inspired by the written word?

Love you beyond the moon.
