oops! I meant to finish that; if any of the last days in April is still available, I’ll take one of them. (Remind me what time the poem has to be handed off to you?)
Thanks, April. Your blog post should be published with enough time for the next poet to work on theirs. Would you like to take the last line so you don’t have to worry about that? What is your blog link?
