Peace Poles For Schools

Peace Pole Dedication Ceremony

School, East Sacramento, 6/6/25



Day 20, National Poetry Month

Poetry in Print— or, Poem As Life

Sipping morning coffee
and poetry lighted
by my front window

Ring alerts me

Someone is at the door

Kyle! Good morning—

“Well, here it is,
hot off the press and delivered
by your friendly, East SAC Local Publisher
Looks great, right?”

Think Global Act Local
I told you it would be coming out
You made it in for National Poetry Month.

What if a poem goes beyond the month
Looking great on the page and
What if every muse could
Move mountains of discontent
Guide all hearts closer
To shared peace— hot and borderless
Peace right off the press?

Come visit us today at the Family Fall Festival in support of the preservation of the American River Parkway, noon until 4 PM today. Address and info is on event flyer below.

Peace is a Verb

May Peace Be in Our Schools from kindergarten through college.

One day, this International Day of Peace will become the International Life of Peace
May Peace be in the UNITED States of America
May Peace Prevail on Earth

Grammy, let’s go play?

Thank you, Grammy; this cool shady spot feels perfect
