April is National Poetry Month! Join LitWorld, A Global Literacy Organization, in celebrating the power and spirit of words by helping to compose a Global Poem for Change:
The wonderful poet Naomi Shihab Nye got us started with a first line:
I send my words out into the air, listening for yours from everywhere.
What words do you send out into the air?
What words do you listen for?
Celebrate Poetry Month and create a Global Poem for Change with LitWorld!
What comes next?
Submit a line of your own at litworld.org/poem and watch our Poem GROW at litworld.org/poemblog.
