April is one of my favorite times of year, no matter where I’m at!  I’m writing today from Boulder, Colorado and linking up with others who are participating in the  ‘National Poetry Writing Month.’  This is a challenge where writers are offered optional prompts from which to construct poems.  As I continue my path of exploration, learning and self-discovery my writing comes along too.  Writing for me has become more than a desire to place myself in the world, or to make something of it (it is about that a little bit…aaaaaand)…it is my practice, my meditation.  This is my second year of participating in the challenge, and we are on day eleven.  Here are a few first thought, best thought poems — almost pure first drafts. + Allison for the PGM
