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!
