Get Your Poems and Pockets Ready…
Get your poems and pocket ready. April 24th is National Poem in Your Pocket Day!
From Poets.org:
On Poem in Your Pocket Day, people throughout the United States select a poem, carry it with them, and share it with others throughout the day.
You can also share your poem selection on Twitter by using the hashtag #pocketpoem.
Poems from pockets are unfolded throughout the day with events in parks, libraries, schools, workplaces, and bookstores.
Create your own Poem in Your Pocket Day event using ideas below or share your creative ideas with us by emailing npm@poets.org.
Last year I downloaded the poems selected especially for PYPD and printed them out on colored paper and rolled them up and handed them out to students from a special canister. They unrolled them and smiled and shared them. Yes, some ended up on the floor, but mostly my freshmen and AP seniors thought it pretty cool to have their own poem to carry around for the day. I enjoyed watching them excitedly ask one another, “Which one did you get?”
So–you’ve got the website link, now get on it! Get those poems ready for those pockets!

Huh I had no idea! Maybe I will write a poem in my pocket with indelible ink 🙂
That way you’ll be ready every year!
