A quadrille of 44 words on theme of “paper” linked to dVerse Poets

 

it’s world poetry day
but you probably won’t
read it in the newspapers
poems aren’t news any-
more than recipes are
novels but why not?
publish a peace poem
on front page of today’s
issue with bold print, yell
“extra, read all about it!”

    Brilliant point and way of putting this, Lynn!
