Jone Rush McCulloch hosts us today at her blog here with an inspirational poem for starting the day. Be sure to visit to read it. Thanks, Jone!
The bookmark, on top of the picture above, came into the bookstore at the end of March. Often people do donate books and leave 'treasures' in them. This time, it became my own treasure and I knew what I would do for April's poetry, write about found treasures, perhaps find new places to look? Only one more day!
Plus! Check each day for the added line to the Progressive Poem, created by Irene Latham, now hosted by Margaret Simon! The link is to the right!
It's Poem in Your Pocket day. Do you have a poem ready to carry and share? You can find many here at Poet.Org, The Academy of American Poets, or here at The Poetry Foundation.
I am re-sharing the poem that I wrote last year, this time for this special day.
What A Pocket Knows
a keycard for a getaway
a lacy hanky’s good to pack
the ID card tucks in to go
a chunky bar’s a welcome snack
I hold a dollar bill, or two
and quarters for the fare
a poem stays in readiness
the one thing meant to share
