Poem in Your Pocket Day

pocket_logo.gif

Tomorrow is the first national Poem in Your Pocket Day (New York City has been celebrating it since 2002).  I love this idea in theory, and will put a poem (TDB) in my pocket before I take the kids the school in the morning, but will I read it to anyone?  Probably not.  Wait--the kids!  I'll read it to them, and send them off with poems in their pockets, too (maybe Milly could memorize a short one).

If you're looking for a poem for your pocket, check out these pocket-sized Poem PDFs, some poems about pockets (love this idea, too), or just browse poets.org.  It is National Poetry Month, you know.
