"Every April, on Poem in Your Pocket Day, people celebrate by selecting a poem, carrying it with them, and sharing it with others throughout the day at schools, bookstores, libraries, parks, workplaces, and on Twitter using the hashtag #pocketpoem.
Poem in Your Pocket Day was originally initiated in 2002 by the Office of the Mayor, in partnership with the New York City Departments of Cultural Affairs and Education, as part of the city’s National Poetry Month celebration. In 2008, the Academy of American Poets took the initiative to all fifty United States, encouraging individuals around the country to join in and channel their inner bard. In 2016, the League of Canadian Poets extended Poem in Your Pocket Day to Canada."
My poems for the annual event are dedicated to Tootsie Roll & Lucille:)
Pug!
Pug snort
snore
under my pillow adore.
Tail curly,
fawn fur...
make me purr.
Buggy eyes,
ears that flop...
Yep, you make my heart stop!
Lab!
Lucille loves a ball!
Throw, run, fetch, return, repeat.
Yellow Labrador!
Nicely done! Way to represent. I have printed this out and it is now folded and in my pocket for Poem In Your Pocket Day!
