Poem of the day 4/18: LP&W's Favorite Poems Project is gaining steam


Six poems are now up at http://lawtonpoetsfpp.blogspot.com/.

Fourteen more days to go. Please pass along any poems you think that other literature lovers MUST read. We'll be appreciative. Also, we'd like a nice, warm meal. Writing doesn't pay our bills.

The latest poem (April 18) is by Federico Garcia Lorca, the brilliant Spanish poet who was killed by the new government who found him to controversial. Lorca was heavily involved in politic and human rights and this made him a target. Probably, he was not a perfect man, but his poems are left behind as quite a legacy.
