This month celebrates two things very important to moi. National Poetry Month and Alcohol Awareness Month. I love poetry more than just because it may sound pleasant to a nice jazz beat or funked out instrumental but mainly because its words. Period. Words used in abstract ways, words recited in abstract ways whether rhyming, singing, soulful, dark, energetic, inspiring or just simply put. This is the one type of expression that is used by the young and old and in between and can be seen anywhere and everywhere. Alcohol Awareness is equally important if not more so because too many folks lose their lives to drunk driving and too many folks tend to underestimate the dangers of driving while intoxicated. The holidays are often the key times when folks drive a bit too tipsy. So with my thoughts varying from one end of the field to across the other side my silent prayers are with those who lost loved ones either to drunk driving or alcoholism and to those overcoming alcoholism as well as the poets who grace the earth.
God Bless.
