Poetry Prompt – April 8

April 8 – It’s April and there is always someone around who still has their Christmas decorations up. There are people in my building still have Christmas trees in their windows and I always smile at them. Write about the decorations, how you feel when you see them. 

From The Muse Library: Amazing Peace: A Christmas Poem by Maya Angelou. n this beautiful, deeply moving poem, Maya Angelou inspires us to embrace the peace and promise of Christmas, so that hope and love can once again light up our holidays and the world. “Angels and Mortals, Believers and Nonbelievers, look heavenward,” she writes, “and speak the word aloud. Peace.” Read by the poet at the lighting of the National Christmas Tree at the White House on December 1, 2005, Maya Angelou’s celebration of the “Glad Season” is a radiant affirmation of the goodness of life and a beautiful holiday gift for people of all faiths.
