Welcome back to another post celebrating National Poetry Month!
This coming Friday (April 29, 2022) is National Poem in Your Pocket Day, so what a better way to celebrate than by writing poems specifically to be carried around in one’s pocket?
Feel free to print one of these poems out and carry it around with you all day Friday! Share it around. I even left a blank pocket you can print out and write your own poem on. Read to the end of those post and find more ways to celebrate National Poem in Your Pocket Day.
Enjoy!
Do you want more fun ways to celebrate National Poem in Your Pocket Day? Check out these ideas from Poets.org!
- Share a poem on your social media sites and use #PocketPoem. (Just be aware of copyright laws!)
- Call someone you love and read a poem to them. Bonus if you do it via a video chat!
- Record yourself reading a poem to share online. (Again, beware of copyright laws.)
- E-mail a poem to someone – be it a friend, family member, or (poets.org even suggests) a government official. What a fun idea! I’ll even go so far to recommend to print out copies of your poem and slip one inside your mailbox for your mailman, give one to the cashier at the store, etc. Just pass them around to spread the fun!
- Add a poem to your E-mail footer.
- If you live in a city or close neighborhood, read poetry from your porch or balcony. Be loud, be proud.
