"Keep a Poem in Your Pocket" by Beatrice Schenk de Regniers
Keep a poem in your pocket
and a picture in your head
and you'll never feel lonely
at night when you're in bed.
The little poem will sing to you
the little picture bring to you
a dozen dreams to dance to you
at night when you're in bed.
So--keep a picture in your pocket
and a poem in your head
and you'll never be lonely
at night when you're in bad.
This coming Thursday, April the 24th, is Poem in Your Pocket Day! Last year we had a great response. This year let's celebrate even more. Put a poem in your pocket--either a favorite, one that reflects your mood, or just a verse that inspires, tickles, bleeds, kicks you in the butt--whatever. Pull it out several times a day and share it with another fellow soul, who, like you, is wandering this planet, searching for a verse of his/her own. For more of the details regarding Poem in Your Pocket Day, check out the Academy of American Poets at poets.org for more information.
I haven;t made selection yet. Have you?
