When i began this blog 5 Mays ago, i did not realize today is designated annual “Poem in Your Pocket Day” by The League of Canadian Poets and Academy of American Poets! How cool is that? Here’s a pocket-sized poem for the occasion.
a fresh poem
home-grown in
fertile loam of
heart’s dark tome
let thoughts roam
new ideas phloem
seeded, weeded, and
(hopefully) read(ed)
whether new haiku
or favorite sonnet
remember
to carry a
poem in
your pocket!

A little limerick in honor of Poem in My Pocket Day…when I titled my blog, almost three years ago, I did not know it was a “national” holiday!
I carry a poem in my pocket
Obsession eccentric – don’t knock it!
May I read it aloud?
Make dead poet proud
If you enjoy verse, let’s rock it!

surrounding us is
a great cloud of witnesses
awaiting the Day
* * * * *
when the King returns to earth,
riding on glorious clouds

light holds night at bay
warm earth blooms, time to make hay
farmer’s favorite day
dandelion lawn
cows in pasture, tractor’s song
work as day is long
Written in response to Carpe Diem’s prompt as we all anticipate the longest day
