Roses are red, violets are blue, Joe loves poetry, and so should you! April is National Poetry Month-a time to celebrate poets and poetry, the beauty of language, and the richness poetry brings to our community. The Portland Public Library is hosting an event on April 25 from 6:30-8pm called "The Next Generation Poetry Reading". For more information about the PPL and its events, go to this website. Joe wishes all Portlanders a happy National Poetry Month!
