Poet of The Month

1. "Poem to be read at 3am" - Donald Justice
2. "First Kiss" - April Lardner
3. "September Twelfth, 2001" - X.J. Kennedy

I chose these poems because they seem relevant to everyday life. The “Poem to be read at 3am” just seems to portray the subtleness of an evening night and the realization of small unimportant things such as the lights on in the house. I can relate to the thoughtless nights when I drive to the lake or home from a friend’s house.  The others are good as well and really show the relevance to life and what’s going on in life. I can really appreciate the “September  Twelfth, 2001” poem because of its closeness and meaning. Really highlights what went on after the 9/11 attacks.
