The Day's Program
The Day the Poet Came
       April 5, 2023
 
by Mary Beth Bretzlauf
 
with the April rains,
a poet came to town –
seeking the sage men and women
of the local Rotary Club
 
greeting them as a poet does
during Poetry Month,
she read from her book of poems
about wishes and dreams
about love and loss
and life’s lessons
 
when her time to leave came
the sun broke out to guide her
onto the next place where people
need a few poems
