“Do I Dare Disturb the Universe?”

….So wondered the title character in T.S. Eliot’s poem “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.” Poets disturb the universe in good way by making us pause and consider the profundities, peculiarities, absurdities, sadness and whimsy of the constant stream of life.

Every April we celebrate National Poetry Month to honor poets and the poetry that enrich our everyday lives. Want to get a poem a day for the month of April? Sign up at:
