NAPOWRIMO 2015

April is National Poetry Month.

This year my wife Laura and I are joining NAPOWRIMO, which is National Poetry Writing Month . We normally participate in National Novel Writing Month in the Winter, but this year we are going to write one poem every day for the whole month of April. I'm planning on posting most of them here on the blog unless they are too sensitive, but I have some ready made poems already in reserve I can add to the blog, so stop by and you should see something new this month.

You can also see my wife's blog here: Grace to Create

Thanks!

Dear Aldi's,

Below is an actual section trimmed from the aluminum can of your Summit GT Diet Cola. I'm sorry, but someone has to tell you...you're trying WAY TOO HARD here.

That's an awful lot to expect from one beverage, especially when it's $2.39 for a 12 pack. I'm sorry, it's not as good as Diet Coke. Just a hint, say something like "A delightful refreshing beverage that won't break the bank". You've just made the bar WAY too high for just a can of diet soda. Tell your marketeers to switch to decaf or something-cause this is a little crazy. Just sayin. I like your other stuff, thanks for saving me money on groceries and your guacamole is awesome.

Best Regards,

John Homan
