National Days You Cannot Miss this October

October 3 – National Poetry Day. Today is all about feeling poetic! These websites will help you find the perfect poem to to celebrate, and maybe even convince you to become a full-time poetry enthusiast, reading a poem a day forever and ever: Poetry Foundation, All Poetry, and Daily Poetry. Here are some of my favorites: THE LAUGHING HEART by Charles Bukowski you can’t beat death but you…

"Coffee falls into your stomach, and straightway there is a general commotion. Ideas begin to move like the battalions of the Grand Army of the battlefield, and the battle takes place. Memories charge in, flags flying; the light cavalry of comparisons advances at a magnificent gallop; the artillery of logic rushes in with its convoy and its charges; witticisms appear like snipers; characters rise up. Similes arise, The paper covers itself in ink, because the evening begins and ends with torrents of black water, as the battle does with its black powder.” (Honoré de Balzac)
