Here in Michigan, spring is struggling to take hold. I can feel the cold winds hanging around the edges of the day. Even though the sun is out, the day is chilly.

This week, share the view outside your window by writing a poem in syllabic form. If you write a freestyle form, please add a syllabic form to your post. Have fun!

April is National Poetry Month. Here’s the link for NaPoWritMo for 2023, and the NaGloPoWritMo link.

Here are some sites that will help you write your poetry and count syllables:
