Love your idea, Jone. It looks like it will be a very busy, and fun, month. We can huRRy through or loLL along haPPily!
What an out-of-the box idea! Should spark some interesting poems…
(And isn’t lolly gag a wonderful word!)
No X? I just checked my dictionary and you’re right! Love this post, I’m always excited for April, too! I just got my Roz Chast poster today for National Poetry Month.
What a fun idea for a poem! I think this might work for my reluctant poets!

Wow! What an interesting list. I am embarrassed to say that I don’t know what some of those words mean! Do you post these poems during the month of April? I would love to see what you do with some of them.
