It seems like there are days and weeks and months celebrating everything.
Just FYI – National Poetry Month also shares its time with “Brussel Sprouts and Cabbage” Month and Car Care Month.
National Poetry Month? I much prefer to celebrate that instead of Brussel Sprouts and Cabbage.
A few of my favorites:
Mending Wall by Robert Frost
Wild nights – Wild nights! by Emily Dickinson
We Real Cool – by Gwendolyn Brooks
Theme for English B by Langston Hughes and Harlem by Hughes
Song of Myself by Walt Whitman
And, I am delighted to share that poet John Davis Jr. will be my guest next week on Southern Creatives.
Who is your favorite poet or what is your favorite poem?

My all time favourite sonnet is “Shall I compare thee…” by Shakespeare.
And don’t diss cabbage and sprouts. Love them; especially with brown sauce and ketchup, yum.
Roger,
Shakespeare – yea!
Cabbage and sprouts and brown sauce and ketchup – boo! The only way I like cabbage is fried with bacon. And, I never like sprouts. (Sorry, sprouts, nothing personal)
How about I read some poetry WHILE eating Brussels Sprouts? Possibly as I’m going through a car wash… That way all the bases are covered.
Seriously, though, thanks so much for all the great links. I’m going to read through them all in honor of Poetry Month!
Sprouts, car wash and poetry – I think this could be the grounds for a new movie =)

I really enjoyed re-reading these poems! Thank you for bringing them to me today 🙂
Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I would love to find a way to connect literature with some of your amazing recipes 🙂
That is a great idea! I will give it some thought as well. The only small link I layed between food and literature until now between my Wonton Appetizer Cups and a Hopkins poem I love 🙂
I’d love to collaborate!
