  “Research has shown that ballads were produced by all of society working as a team. They didn’t just happen. There was no guesswork.” — John Ashbery

So, April is upon us.  Days from now we’ll be in the cruellest month. April is also National Poetry Month (for real- there is handy FAQ on this strange observance here).   Over at the blog Gourd is Our Co-Pilot, a writer is challenging people to show some enthusiasm for the old form by writing a poem a day.  We’ll take the challenge here at Poegles, using the opportunity to write a poegle a day.  

How about it, poeglers?  Will you take the challenge?  Join us!
